> Bug description:
> Wubi installed and username/password defined. After restart password was not accepted. Escaped to terminal mode as root and changed password. Now I could enter wubi. Then in wubi I saw the keyboard layout was set to Italian. I changed this to US, International. Then authorization with password failed.
> Cause of this trouble: I used a special character in my password, which was defined by the windows keyboard type: US International. After rebooting the keyboard layout was automatically changed to Italian and typing in my password resulted in an other special character and the password was not accepted. After redefining a new password the special character was that from the Italian keyboard. Then I changed the keyboard setting to USinternational and again the password was not accepted.
