This can happen for languages other than US English.  Even here in Canada
there are
sometimes confusions between US English and Canadian French keyboards.
What you
type on a US keyboard may be saved as something else.

On older keyboards, some keys may not be reliable.  You can try using a
password that avoids
keys whose mapping changes between any alternate language that might be
used in your location
or that are unreliable.
