Change keyboard layout while entering start-up password
Solution 1
Found the solution: For future reference if you want to change your keyboard layout on the welcome screen and other accounts on your computer you have to copy the settings to them.
You can do that by navigating to:
Control Panel -> Regional and Language Settings -> Administerative -> Copy Settings -> Click the check marks (at the bottom) to the welcome screen and accounts that you want to copy the settings to and click ok
Solution 2
On the Welcome screen, click the Keyboard layout button , and then select a keyboard layout.

I installed Windows 7 with the QWERTY keyboard layout, but have recently started using DVORAK layout so I changed it from Control Panel -> Regional and Language Settings and it set DVORAK to default keyboard layout.
Recently I added a password to log into the administrator account, the problem is that this password field is set to the QWERTY keyboard layout. When I log into Windows the keyboard layout switches back to DVORAK. How can I set the password field on the log in screen to use the DVORAK layout

ANeves over 10 yearsI don't have any. Perhaps because I only have a single keyboard layout? I'm not sure. Regardless, using the
alt+right-shiftshortcut to change layout does not change to my account-defined layout. -
