Q: Keyboard wont work when setting up a new admin account

If 10.7.0 or later...

Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.

Bdaqua - does this require a disk, bc I dont have any. Will it affect my other data from my prior accounts? Thank you.

BDAqua - I have Safari 10.5.6 I think.. Will it still work using the instructions in this link you gave me?

Is it too late to perform the instructions in that link if I've already done what I said in my original question?

Thank you!!!

Please disregard the Safari comment, Im freaking out and talking senseless lol. This all started by accidentally enabling parental controls im Safari.. I enabled it from a "Managed" account, couldnt get to any of my email sites and wanted to disable/uncheck parental controls but didnt have an admin password.. This is stressing me out, my computer is needed for work and is like my lifeline:))) Sorry for the confusion - I just need this fixed asap!!

BDAqua -

The CMD R takes me to a screen where I can click on a picture of a hard disk. I clicked on it and it took me back to the new setup screen. I am on Leopard 10.5 -

No I was never able to complete the new admin account, I cannot type with the keyboard. It just makes a ding every time I press any key. No matter what screen its on, whether its the Wifi screen, Registration etc, the keyboard wont type.

The funny thing is that I have the mouse plugged into the usb on the side of the keyboard and the mouse works. I tried plugging the keyboard into diff usb ports on the computer and still no luck..

Yes, the cursor is blinking in every field.
