I opened a new window to google something and all the letters were capital. My caps lock key wasn’t on but I tried turning it on and off but nothing changed. I figured I’d restart my computer but now I cannot get into my computer because caps lock is still on and my password is lowercase. I’m in the middle of finals in a global pandemic and I don’t know what to do. I’m having a crisis. Please help me
MacBook Pro 13", macOS 10.15
Try resetting NVRAM/PRAM http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379
if no resolve, no harm in Try resetting the SMC https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201295
Can you test with an external keyboard to compare
To trouble shoot further you can:
—Try a SafeBoot https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201262
Takes noticeable longer to get to the login screen, does a 5-15 minute disk repair before it fully boots up, and certain system caches get cleared and rebuilt, including dynamic loader cache, etc. Login and test. Reboot and test as caches get rebuilt.
In Safe mode third party system modifications and system accelerations are disabled, it removes malware, etc hampering smooth operation, however a reboot will put it back to normal mode.
This test will tell you if third party interference; extensions etc are not loaded in safe boot mode.
—Test issue in another user (or guest user) account https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204443
This will tell you if it a universal issue or isolated to your user/admin account.
