Dear Sir,

      Some of my keys from the keyboard are not working, so i was using screen keyboard. Since last evening my desktop screen is blacked with a pop up message that my desktop is unavailable. I tried to do the start up repair and my system is asking for my account password. But i am not able to enter my password as some keys are not functioning and onscreen keyboard option is not available in startup repair. Kindly advise how to resolve.
