I work from home and l almost locked myself out of my work laptop this morning.
Turns out the password prompt for decrypting the harddrive uses a different keyboard layout from the program which I used to set the password.
Once I figured that out I got back in with only one attempt left!
Well, later today I got locked out anyways thanks to my family's cat. I should have closed the door when I went away to get a coffee -_-
