Mac Mini M1 (2022) Frozen at Lock Screen

Hello,


I thought it might be the keyboard (I have a logi MX Keys Mini) but I'm not even able to boot in safe mode.


Last time I used the computer was two days ago and all was well. Cannot figure out what's wrong or how I'd be able to enter my password to login.


I'm unable to use virtual keyboard because I'm fairly certain it's not enabled, anyway, would probably need to be in safe mode to try, and can't get there.


Working now on MacBook Pro (2019, 15") just back from Apple Care, but I haven't used it yet to connect with the MacMini, thought I never really did.


I don't have another keyboard to try (don't want to buy one) and this keyboard can be connected via thunderbolt cable or bluetooth...again, all was fine.


Any thoughts? I'm exhausted and have taxes to file tomorrow (I'd like to have filed today...)


Thanks so much in advance, appreciate your time.

Mac mini 2018 or later
