I suspect the dpkg-reconfigure hint won't work for you. There must be a
setting for your user session, that does not require a password, to
change the keyboard layout for the user session. Perhaps the log in

My root password works fine when issuing commands
(such as apt update)
in the terminal but it does not accept it as being the correct
password when trying the GUI settings features such as those found in
AV Linux Assistant (also tried the default one from the manual and
that doesn't work either.) Tried at least 20 times!
If you write a text using a GUI app and you use the keys used for your
password, are the correct letters displayed? If not perhaps running
sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration
shutdown --reboot now
does solve the issue, or as a temporarily workaround remember the wrong
letters and type those as your password.
A Linux install could have a system wide setting for the keyboard
layout and at least another for a desktop environment's user session.
I neither use a desktop environment, nor AVL, but it's a known issue,
that the user-friendliness of desktop environments used on Debian based
distros has got a tendency to go berserk.
