I'm in a bit of a crisis here. I've got an exam tomorrow that requires a lockdown browser, but I haven't been able to get into my HP laptop since yesterday morning. Something weird happened and now my computer is acting up. Restarting and shutting it down hasn't helped at all. If I can't fix this in time, I'm really worried I'll fail the class because there's no extra computer I can use. What should I do?

Have you tried giving your keyboard a good cleaning? Dust and debris can cause keys to get stuck. Just make sure to turn off your laptop first and use compressed air to clear out the keys. If this issue started after cleaning it, maybe something got misaligned or wet. Also, check for sticky keys in your accessibility settings; it's a feature that can sometimes be accidentally activated.
Sounds frustrating! If you’re still unable to enter your password because of the 0 key, you might want to try booting your laptop in safe mode. This can help you troubleshoot without all the extra programs running. If everything fails, consider taking your laptop to a local repair shop. They might be able to fix it on the spot before your exam.
It sounds like your keyboard might be stuck, especially since you mentioned the issue with the zero key. Try disconnecting your keyboard (if it's external) or check the keyboard settings on your laptop. Sometimes a key can get pressed down, causing it to repeat. Also, try plugging in a different keyboard temporarily to see if that helps you log in.
