I changed the input language to Russian (Regional and Language Options) and now I can't login because even though I know the password my keyboard only inputs Russian or Cyrillic characters. How do I get out of this one? I don't think it's possible to change the input language back to US - English without logging in or is it? What can I do?

Try the administrator's account from safemode.

I will try that tomorrow (this happened on my computer at work). Have you ever had this happen? Did logging in on safe mode do the trick?

Google for chntpw. Boot to that and run the Registry editor. Then follow the guide below to set your account to automatic logon.

Auto-Logon

What came first, the compiler or the code?

I haven't been in that type of situation and needless to confirm if the safemode suggestion worked ;-(

I figured it out. There was no need to reset the password in the registry. All I had to do was to enter my password using the ALT+### key sequence. That did the trick.

Thanks to all of you who replied to my message, though. I appreciate it.
