To unlock the keyboard, you have to hold down the right SHIFT key for 8 seconds again to turn off Filter Keys, or disable Filter Keys from the Control Panel. If your keyboard doesn't type the correct characters, it's possible that you've turned on NumLock or you're using an incorrect keyboard layout

Regards,

Will
