First time happening to me.
Left in lock overnight, I leave mine on all the time for weeks at a time.
Wiggle mouse to wakeup. Keyboard wakeup is set to off in BIOS due to cats. The login appeared.
Unable to type in password. Used mouse finally to Logout. Entered a Guest account which I have
set up in very restrictive manner, and doesn't need a password to use. Clicked on Menu, it opened,
but nothing past that wanted to open from the menu using mouse. No keyboard use either.
I use a KVM, fully USB with USB keyboard and USB Mouse.
I turned on second computer and was able to soft-switch from keyboard (scroll,scroll, arrow)
over to it. I then switched back and was able to
logout the Guest and login to my user account.
 Seems my problem was KVM caused. Might be of help for others
who have had similar problem and also use a KVM. Also unplugging a USB keyboard that is direct to computer
and then plugging back in might get past the problem.
