Locked keyboard

Hi, my MacBook Pro is quite old now but it’s been taken care of.


I’ve turned it on and I cannot sign in. Mouse is working and keyboard makes a tone like when something is unavailable as an option? Not sure that explains it too well.

how do I get into my Mac if I can’t sign in? *i do not have any software installed that allows me to use my phone / device as wireless keyboard and no wired usb keyboard. Thanks!

MacBook Pro 13″, OS X 10.11

An external keyboard may be a work a round...
