Greetings!
 
Welcome to the HP Support Community. This is a great place to get support, find answers and tips to your technical queries. I have reviewed your post and I understand, there's an issue with the "Keyboard". 

 

Don’t worry, I’m here to help! 

 

Let's try a hard reset and try to log in using an On-Screen Keyboard -

 

1) Shutdown the computer. 
2) Unplug all the Adapter and peripherals connected. 
3) Remove the Battery. 
Note - This step might not be applicable if you have a desktop or a computer that has a built-in battery.
4) Press and hold down the power button for 15 to 20 seconds. 
5) Plug-in the Adapter and put the Battery back into the computer. 
6) Try to turn on the computer. 

 

To open the On-Screen Keyboard from the sign-in screen, select the Ease of Access button in the lower-left corner of the sign-in screen, and then select On-Screen Keyboard.

  • If you were able to login using the On-Screen Keyboard, try step# 1 and 2.
  • If you were unable to login using the On-Screen Keyboard, try step# 3 and 4.

Step 1 Re-install the Keyboard driver -

 

1) In Windows, search for and open Device Manager.
2) Double-click Keyboards.
3) Right click on the keyboard drivers and click on uninstall.
4) Restart the computer. 

 

If the issue still persists, test the hardware. 

 

Step 2 Test the Keyboard -

 

1) Shutdown the computer. 
2) Turn the computer back on again and repeatedly tap on the ESC until a Startup menu appears. 
3) Press F2 once. 
4) Go to Component test. 
5) From the list, run the Keyboard test. 

 

If the Keyboard test passed, try step# 3 and 4. 

 

Step 3 System Restore -

 

1) Shutdown the computer. 
2) Turn the computer back on again and repeatedly tap on the ESC until a Startup menu appears. 
3) Press F11 once for System Recovery. 
4) Choose the Keyboard Layout. 
5) Click on Troubleshoot. 
6) Go to Recovery Manager and click on System Restore. 
7) Choose a Restore point or a Restore date when the computer was working fine. 
8) Click on OK to initialize the System Restore.

 

Step 4 System Recovery -

 

1) Shutdown the computer. 
2) Turn the computer back on again and repeatedly tap on the ESC until a Startup menu appears. 
3) Press F11 once for System Recovery. 
4) Choose the Keyboard Layout. 
5) Click on Troubleshoot. 
6) Go to Recovery Manager and click on System Recovery. 

Note : System Recovery will delete everything that you had saved or installed on the computer. 

 

If the Keyboard test failed or if none of the steps mentioned above worked for you, it would confirm a hardware problem. I have sent you a Private Message with the detailed information regarding the service options.
