Hello,
I have a problem: my messaging code was set up in France with a computer configured in French, and it contains accents including an "é".
I am in Taiwan for vacation for more than a month, and I can't access my messaging as the password seems incorrect.
The computer I am using is set up in Chinese. The keyboard does not have accents; it is exactly the same as the English or American keyboard, but I can choose to use the French keyboard (through the FR icon in the taskbar; you can notice that my message contains accents).
So why doesn’t it work? No idea.
I type my password in Word or Notepad, it appears correctly, I copy it into the messaging window where it asks for the password, and there it doesn’t work.
Maybe it's a Unicode issue.
Thanks for your future replies.

You will find in:
Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Ease of Access
a on-screen keyboard that you can use in any application where you can type.
Open the on-screen keyboard, then open the login page. Select the text box where you need to enter your code and type it using the on-screen keyboard.

That's strange. The password typed directly should work; however, it's normal that copying and pasting the password doesn't work: it's a security measure. Is there any other issue besides this accent problem?

Essaie de remplacer le é par "é"
Ca va peut-être marcher car c'est le code du "é" en html.

Oups! The code for "é" has transformed the combination into "é". Proof that it works! Write "&" followed by "eacute" followed by ";", all together. It will write an "é".
