Wrong key map during install

First time installing Gentoo, after several hours I'm at login, and I notice that none of my keys map correctly. So I figured out which keys correspond to the letters I need to login as root, but the issue is my password has a ! in it and there is no key I can press to make that char appear on my US keyboard. Any ideas? Please help lol

The best way would be booting with an running USB Image, like the gentoo minmal install or any other bootable image from another distro.

Use this to change the keymap: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-917326-start-0.html
