Wired Keyboard not working

I was cleaning my wired keyboard. After I was done, the keyboard did not work. I restarted the computer and the keyboard not working. I am stuck on the "start-up" page and nothing happens when I type. The UBS that the keyboard is plugged into works, as other devices (such as wired mouse) works when I plug it in. Not sure if I somehow hit some combination of keys when cleaning that somehow turned off the keyboard. Any ideas on how to fix
