I have a collegue at the office who has a 15" Powerbook with Tiger OS. Today he said that he mistankely pressed some keyboard combination and all of the sudden when he is typing the keyboard other letters and numbers appear. It looks like somekind of a code. How can he fix this to use his keyboard back?
PS: The keyboard that I am talking about is actually the keypad of the Powerbook, I've connected a real keyboard from another Mac and letters and numbers typed are ok, but if he uses the keypad the problem is still there.

He probably hit Command-Space, which changes the keyboard layout.
Look in the menu for a small flag to the left of the clock (it might not be directly to the left, depending on what menu items you have set up to display). If you don't see a flag, then click on each menu item in turn, and see if you can find flags in the menus that pop up. Once you've done this, find the flag for your own country and select it. This should reset the keyboard to use your country's layout.
You can also hit Command-Space again to keep changing the layout, but it may take several tries to get it back to the layout you want.

I know about this, and it seems that this is not the problem. I have reseted that and it the same. I still can't figure why the keypad has this setting and the keyboard attached to the Powerbook doesn't.
Actually the only language set is US. And if I press command+space nothing happens.
I thought maybe there was a setting in the universal access or something.

It was displayed something like asdu3n4nf45moi5miug55omgn6ng6iu6. I solved it. I don't know why but numpad was on and when I setted it off it wasn't stoping. Also the letters that where not in the numpad area had number values and different letter notations also.
I restarted the powerbook and it works fine now.
