I am having dual boot Winxp / Fedora 17. In winxp everything is working fine.
By mistake the "Shift key" was pressed for a long time, It displayed to activate "sticky key". I clicked on "Activate" button blindly. (As I was not aware of it)
At that time keyboard of my laptop was working fine. When I rebooted the machine, Keypad is locked, unable to type password, hence unable to login.to the system.
I have tried to boot through old kernels. Its booting properly then it displays login prompt. At that point I am unable to type password as keypad of my laptop is locked.
Please suggest what should I do ?
Sounds like the X server "slow keys" was engaged. holding the Shift key again for about 10 seconds should enable the keyboard.
Thanks Edward. It worked. Now I am able to login.
