in part I think he had it set to tablet mode .but also i did a windows 10 update on the computer it was a mess and just keep around doing a password enter and it finely let me type it in . there really wasn't any junk on it I could fine .the computer hadn't been used for like a year per date info I was able to fine after the windows 10 update also drivers needed a update seem fine today .I was tired last night but keep going at it so Im not 100 % sure what the malfunction was being behind it.wish I wasn't so dam tired and wrote down all the crap I tried to get it working but something fixed it. i was using the correct password so that was not a question it was behind the non working keyboard. i stay with it for a couple of hours do and won the war.

LOL, I just like to know when someone has an odd issue so if I run into it I can try the same fix. Glad you got it through brute force though.
