Very Urgent: I can't type one password character (£) of the protected backup!

Thread needs solution

Hello,
I need to restore our server with a backup that was pretected with a password containing the £ character.

I have in Windows the italian keyboard layout and I set the password from Windows.
Now Windows is not starting and the bootable CD contains the program in english and sets the keyboard layout as EN.

Is there a way to type the special character £, in order to unlock the backup and restore it?

Thanks for help.

There was a case of this with TI 2009 and French keyboard characters. The suggestion was to try the Safe Mode (SafeMedia) version.

Have you tried it from BartPE or WinPE?

Otherwise, avoid using characters not available to the booted media.

Hello Maurizio,

Thank you for using [[http://www.acronis.com/homecomputing/products/trueimage/ | Acronis True Image]]

If you let me know the version of Acronis software you are using to recover the archive, I will provide you with the ISO file to create Acronis Bootable Rescue Media with the Italian layout. Please contact me via PMs.

Thank you.
