Try pressing the option key 5 times to disable Mouse Keys.

Okay, finally. It will work while on the Lock Screen if this option is enabled. Apparently I disabled the option on the Mac I was on.

Sorry. Apparently that won't work. It won't enable Mouse Keys while on the Lock Screen so it won't disable them.
