virtualbox.org

I'm trying to run the Windows Server 2008 R2 trial appliance available as a .VHD from MS. It seams to boot fine in VirtualBox with Ubuntu 9.04 as host.

The problem is that I can not login as the preconfigured password "Pass@word1" contains the @-character but pressing AltGr+2 does not give any character (no special character seams to work).

Could it be a problem with the keyboard settings of the host?
I have tried changing from Swedish keyboard to US in Ubuntu but with the same result.

Anyone having an idea?

BR,

The layout on the Guest is probably US or similar, so Shift + 2 will provide the @ sign. I've never heard of Altgr + 2 providing the @ sign, but then again, I know little of foreign keyboard layouts.

Thanks for the tip, Shift+2 worked and I should have guessed that but I thought I tried all combinations but obviously not the simplest...
