View products that this article applies to.

Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:
  • You try to set up a computer that is running a Multilanguage version of Windows Server 2012 R2 in Server Core mode.
  • You select a non-English language when Setup first prompts you to provide a password.
  • After you restart the computer, you are prompted to provide the password to log on to the computer.

In this scenario, the display language is always English, and you cannot select a non-English keyboard. Therefore, you cannot type the previously selected non-English password to log on.
