Trouble setting up wifi password

[jcoop0001]

Have a Wifi password with a # and there is no # in the onscreen keyboard to enter a #.

Have tried a attached keyboard and it will not accept the # sign from the keyboard.

Thanks John

Does it print another symbol like £ instead? Have you set the correct locale and keyboard layout in raspi-config yet?

@sleve_mcdichael Yes, correct location, When I hit the # on the keyboard, nothing appears

You need to press the Shift key to get # to show up in the OSK dialog

Yes, correct location,...

Location is not enough, you also need to set the Keyboard layout from raspi-config. What kind of keyboard go you have ? Does it have a non-US layout ?
