My parents cannot enter their password on powering up their HP Pavilion g6 Window7 laptop because several keys aren't working including letters, enter, backspace, etc.

The on-screen keyboard option does complete the password box either.

I have tried to make sense of the advice offered to svalentine34 without success.

Any more ideas?
