How do I unlock my keyboard

How do I unlock the keyboard on my HP Pavilion dv6.It worked fine until my two year old touched it. I don't know if there is a key to lock and unlock it. It does not work at all.

There was no damage done to it. It does not work at all, The only way I can use it is by signing in with my fingerprint and using the on screen keyboard. I have not tried using an external keyboard, it kind of defeats the pupose of having a laptop which I am supposed to be able to take with me on the go. There is a key on it that has a padlock icon on it. I did not know if that unlocked it or not. The only button that works on it is the fn key, but I have to hold ot down to allow it to work. And it only works on the sign in page.

    Unfortunately... Once the Device is asking to be Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything...
    See Here  >  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    However... Once you have Recovered your Device...
    Re-Sync your Content or Restore from the most recent Backup...

    Using a computer, other than the one you have regularily been Syncing and Backing up to, was the begining of your issue.

  • Sat M70-181:How to unlock the keyboard?

    Hi,
    My Satellite M70 notebook didn`t accept any key input when Windows has started. I suppose that a kind of keyboard lock has been accidentally activated. Does anybody know how to unlock the keyboard?
    Thank you!

    Hello again,
    The solution of the problem was in bios menue. When I set default settings the keyboard worked again. I don't know exactly which parameter was wrong because I didn`t made any changes in bios before. Anyway I`m glad again.

  • Im having trouble getting my macbook pro to boot up after a fail safe boot, im getting as far as the grey screen with the apple loggo. so im trying to run a disk repair but is saying the disk is locked, how do i unlock disk??

    Im having trouble getting my macbook pro to boot up after a fail safe boot, im getting as far as the grey screen with the apple loggo. so im trying to run a disk repair but is saying the disk is locked, how do i unlock disk??

    Some clarification may help.
    You say you cannot boot normally.  It shows a gray screen with the Apple logo.
    Did you say it will boot successfully in Safe Mode (boot, then hold down the Shift key)?
    How did you boot the machine to run Disk Utility?  (Which keyboard combinations)?

  • How do I unlock my screen brightness

    My f5 and F6 keys for adjusting screen brightness will not work, they only exhibit an illegal operation sign. How can I adjust the brightness of my screen without them? How can I unlock them?
    thanks!

    Normally the F5-F6 keys adjust the backlight keyboard brightness.  F1 - F2 for Screen, maybe the older keyboards are different.
    Try it in a dark room or turn off the setting in System Preferences > Displays > Display tab > automatically adjust brightness.  Or toggle it off and on.

  • How do I unlock voice activation on iphone

    How do I unlock voice activation on iPhone 4

    Hi Kilted Tim, thank you for your quick response.
    Yup, I've had the unlimited plan for about 4-5 years, and I do everything I can to keep from losing it, for obvious reasons.
    As you advise, I've been using the iphone in airplane mode with wifi activated which works fine when I am in wifi range. But of course when I'm out and about I want to use my data roaming for internet, maps, skype, whatever so I take it out of airplane mode.
    The trouble is that I get incoming calls and am charged international rates even when I dont answer. I havent looked lately but I think AT&T charges me for one minute even for unanswered incoming calls.
    Any ideas?
    Many thanks!

  • How do I unlock an iPhone 4 with iOS 7 and bypass the activation lock?

    How do I unlock an iPhone 4 with iOS 7 and bypass the activation lock? I can't find the previous owner and I really want to use my new iPhone, I did purchase it Second-Handed.and now I'm stuck. Ive tried recovery mode and nothing still restores and asks me the same thing. Been working on this forever- Please Help!

    If you want to risk your money, fine. 
    To answer your questions
    Is this just an iOS 7 feature?
    Yes, Activation Lock is an iOS 7 feature.
      Could you not restore the device to an earlier version?
    No, you cannot downgrade your iOS device.
    That may mean jailbreaking, I'm not sure.
    Jailbreaking is not supported by Apple or this forum.
    Or what about replacing the motherboard?
    There are no user serviceable parts on an iPhone.

  • How do i unlock my Sprint iphone5 with IOS 7.4 0 to use any network here in the U S?

    How can i unlock my Sprint iphone5 with IOS 7.4.0 to be compartable with other service providers here in the U S?

    You can't. Sprint phones can be unlocked ONLY for use on non US carriers. They can not be used on any US carrier other than Sprint. If you want to use a different carrier in the US, sell the phone and buy one you can use.

  • How do I unlock an iphone 5 with Sprint. The SIM is in and Sprint gave me the unlock code, but what are the steps to unlock it?

    How do I unlock an iphone 5 with Sprint 15.1 at IOS 7.0.6 IMEI 99 000320 012095 0 .
    The SIM is in and Sprint gave me the unlock code, but what are the steps to unlock it?

    There is no such thing as an unlock code.   Sprint may have processed the unlock, and then requested you restore the iPhone using iTunes to complete it. But that's it. There is no code to enter, and nowhere to enter it any way.

  • I got an iphone from Hong Kong which is locked one. Can anyone explain me what does a locked iphone means. How do I use it in India now, with my own sim card. How do I unlock it???

    I got an iphone from Hong Kong which is locked one. Can anyone explain me what does a locked iphone means. How do I use it in India now, with my own sim card. How do I unlock it???

    If your iPhone is locked to a wireless provider, only that wireless provider
    can unlock it. Contact the wireless provider in Hong Kong to see if they
    offer unlocking and if you qualify.
    If your iPhone is locked to an AppleID that you do not know, return it for
    a refund as it is useless. Only the person whose AppleID was used for
    activation can remove the lock. There is no workaround for Activation Lock.
    If neither of the above is what you are facing, provide more detail so someone
    may offer a solution.

  • I am locked out of my iPod touch and i can't restore it as it asks for my password which i don't know how do i unlock it?

    I am locked out of my iPod and it says i cannot restore or back up due to me needing to unlock it and obviously i don't have my password. Please help, how do i unlock it?

    Options for when an iOS device gets locked because of forgotten password:
    Restore (and reset password) on your device by connecting it to the last computer to which it was connected:
    iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    If you cannot connect it to the computer to which the device was last connected you will have to use recovery mode to completely reset the device, losing all data:
    iOS: Unable to update or restore - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 - recovery mode (e.g., cannot connect to computer last used to sync device, iTunes still asks for a password)

  • How can I make a "Keyboard Lock" while iTunes is playing?

    How can I make a "Keyboard Lock" while iTunes or other apps are playing? They should work/play on, screen should still be on, only keyboard is (maybe Password-) locked.
    Thanx in adv, tttimo

    Menu > Apple > System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts Application Shortcuts > + > Application: Browse to Pages > Menu Title: Footnote > Keyboard Shortcut: hit combination of keys > Add
    You will need to restart Pages but should then see it next to your Menu item.

  • Trying to upgrade OS on an original iPad.  Screen is locked showing iTunes/USB cable icons.  Connected to iTunes and get an error 3014 message stating it cannot be restored and screen is locked in this mode.  How do I unlock?

    Trying to update OS on an original iPad.  Connected to iTunes -- screen is locked showing iTunes/USB cable icons.  iTunes says must restore to default settings, but receive an error message 3014 that this cannot be done.  Cannot unlock screen to use nor can I update or restore, so iPad not usable at this point.  How can I unlock screen so I can use iPad, how do I fix this error?  Latest version of iTunes is downloaded and I've followed all the instructions in regard to Windows.  I'd at least like to unlock iPad so it can be used.  Thanks.

    bummer. *Note that if you are actually running iOS 5.1.1, that's it for the iPad 1st Gen.
