      is it a usb keyboard you got? if so the legacy prob aint enabled in bios allowing you to access either bios or safe mode.

      Either get a usb - ps2 adapter, or a ps2 keyboard

                          is the no other information m8.

                          Near the battery there should be 3 jumpers with a cap covering 2 of them, remove this cap, put onto the other side so the 1 without the cap on is now covered, remove battery, that should clear the cmos, or just leave the battery out for 20-30 mins.

                          Do you have a spare hdd?

                                  thats what you want, put that in and format it with an os, then if u need your files back off the other retrieve off them at later date.
