Apple Wireless Keyboard question

hello

i've got a new apple wireless keyboard, it is a QWERTY keyboard, the only issue i'm facing is when you get into the session login on OS X, it doesn't type qwerty but azerty so for example if my session password is : david I have to type : dqvid so the system can accept it, once I login everything changes to qwerty and i use it fine.... how to fix this issue and thank you

You can change this through system preferences > Users&Groups > Click Login Options and enable "Show Input menu in login window" ... (might need to click the lock to enable this feature)

Or how Apple explains it:

- From the Apple menu, choose System Preferences.
- Click Users & Groups to display the pane (or choose User & Groups from the View menu).
If the lock icon in the lower-left corner of the window is closed, click it, then enter the name and password of an administrator to unlock it.
- Click Login Options.
- Select the "Show Input menu in login window" checkbox.
- From the Apple menu, choose Log Out.
- At the login window, click the Input menu (shows the name of the currently selected input source next to a keyboard icon) in the upper-right corner of the screen, then select the desired input source or keyboard layout. If you don't see the input source you are looking for, move the pointer over Other Input Sources, then select the input source from the complete list that appears.
