If you are getting @ on UNSHIFTED 2 then your language has been changed to English USA can't help with the password.

You can remove the welcome and log on screen - instructions here

To change the keyboard language - start - control panel - clock, language, region.

After unchecking the box that users must enter a password, click on the advanced tab and ensure that the box requiring users to press Control, Alt and delete is unchecked. You should then press apply and you will be asked to enter in your password and press ok on both screens. You should then restart.
