You can get start the computer in safe mode, log onto Administrator,
control panel and user accounts. From there you can remove your password.
All of this can be done with a mouse.
In the bios setup you should make sure that usb legacy support is enabled.
Usually when a keyboard fails it is the keyboard.

When I last rebooted my computer, my keyboard drivers have
mysteriously disappeared. I am using an HP Pavillion with Windows XP
Home edition. I have both a wireless USB keyboard and the original PS/
2 keyboard and neither are working.

The mouse works, but when I click on the "Owner" icon to login, I
cannot type my password, so I cannot login. The keyboard does not
light up when pressing CAPSLOCK or NumLock either.

I can login to a GUEST account, because that does not require a
password. When I go to the Control Panel from the GUEST account, I
can see that there is no driver installed for the keyboard. But it
won't let me add hardware from this login because it is not an
administrator. And I cannot login as administrator because I cannot
type a password! I can see the file kbdclass.sys in C:\Windows
\System32\drivers.

Also, it is an HP computer and did not come with boot CDs. I have
tried several reboots, both with and without the keyboard plugged in.

Can anyone please help? Is there something I can do from the GUEST
login without administrator rights?
