This may happen if your Xserver has loaded non Latin or unusual symbols before KiKbd starts. Beginning with version 1.0b1 you can predefine symbols in Advanced section of Configuration for fixing this problem.
This problem might appear when your favorite screen saver starts while a national keyboard is active. The solution is to use KDE screen-savers with default (first in the list) English keyboard. KiKbd automatically switches keyboard to default map when one of KDE's screen-savers opens a password dialog.
The other solution is to use Alternate Latin symbols in all your keyboard maps. Then you can type a password using the Alternate Switch key.
