it depends on your computer but if you have the user manual it should tell you which one of the function keys to push to get into safe mode when you boot up the computer. Mine on my Dell is F8 and you boot or start or re start your computer and keep hitting that key depending on which one it is, and then when your menu comes up where you can select safe mode then you can get in and go back and change it. Keep your passwords written down somewhere and keep them in your desk or something

You should first try to troubleshoot the problem by yourself. Try these steps before ringing the manufacturer to avoid unnecessary isolation:\n\n1. Boot into DOS prompt (Try a bootable device such as a floppy or the CD that came with the PC)\n\n2. Type in the keys  you think are not working. \n\n3. If this doesn't do the trick, try to release the flea power on your computer (Remove the battery, unplug the power. Hold the power button for 10 seconds, and put the battery and powerplug back and power up your laptop)\n\n4. Now try to open the Notepad (assuming you're now inside Windows) and type the keys again.\n\n5. If there's still no changes, then it's time to bug your warranty.\n\nHope this helps!

Try to adjust the mouse settings.\n\nFor Windows XP\n\nGo into your Control Panel by first clicking on the Start Button.\n\nThen click on the Control Panel icon located in the right column of the Start Menu.\n\nIf your Start Menu is set to the Classic View, then begin by clicking on the Start Button.\n\nThen click on Settings, then click on the Control Panel icon to open up the Control Panel.\n\nNow, Double click on the Mouse icon to open up the Mouse Properties window.\n\nThen click on the Pointer Options Tab located at the top of the screen.\n\nDrag the Slider bar left to make the pointer move slower or right to make it move faster.\n\nPlace a check mark in the box next to Enhance pointer precision.\n\nThis will give you better control of the pointer when moving short distances.\n\nIf you want to enable pointer trails, place a check mark next to Display pointer trails.\n\nYou can also Automatically move pointer to the default button in a dialog box as well.\n\nAnd Hide pointer while typing and Show location of pointer if the CTRL key is pressed.\n\nEnable these options according to your personal preference.\n\nIf you want to swap the buttons, click on the Buttons Tab at the top of the screen.\n\nThen place a check mark next to Switch primary and secondary buttons.\n\nYou can also adjust the Double click speed and Turn on the Clicklock dragging option.\n\nThen click the OK button to save your settings and exit the Mouse Properties window.\n\nThen close the Control Panel to return back to your Windows session

If you have windows XP - you shouldn't have to do anything.  XP comes with a plug and play option.  you need to first turn off your computer, plug in your keyboard and then turn the computer back on. \n\nIf it still will not detect the keyboard, use your mouse and click on Add new hardware, and tell windows to search for new hardware on your comptuer. It should pick it up.

If the computer isn't old, there's usually an ability to fix your computer before the login/desktop sequence. Look on the screen for prompts that tell you to hit F8 or F4 and the like.

Ctrl+Esc works for the start button. But you can't use key combos like WindowsKey+L, WindowsKey+R, WindowsKey+E, WindowsKey+U, WindowsKey+D, WindowsKey+F, WindowsKey+M, and WindowsKey+B
