Wrong input symbols in recovery mode

ubuntu 18.04 I'm trying to reset pass (for learning purpose) and impact with input-language problem in recovery mode. It ask: "Press Enter for maintenance (or press Control-D to continue)"

I try to press Ctrl+D but nothing happens, so I press Enter and PC wait for my input. When I type something instead of English symblos 'f' it prints Russian 'ф', for 'b' > 'б' looks lite transliterating. And I can't input anything in English.

I check /etc/default/keyboard (screenshot_hete). But it looks like Ok. Screen from GUI language settingshere. I can switch input lang with win+space when I logon.

ps: sorry for my bad English.

In /etc/default/keyboard you have:

XKBLAYOUT=us
XKBVARIANT=rus

which means that you have the Russian (US, phonetic) keyboard layout in the console.

To make it match your GUI settings, you probably want:

XKBLAYOUT=us,ru
XKBVARIANT=,
