Well, then that's probably the problem.
Just try entering your passwords in a field where you can see what's
displayed, for instance, the system name input dialog box, at the
beginning of the install. You'll see that the "#" characters are not
inputted (dunno where they are on a german keyboard). There are also
problemns with capitalized letters (already reported).
