1Shut down, hook up a USB keyboard and start with that.– JohnJun 26, 2020 at 23:48

Try holding down the ALT key and typing the number 0081 for Q or 0113 for q - I don't use Windows so havn't tried it, but those numbers are the ASCII equivalents, and historically Windows has allowed you to enter characters that way.– davidgoJun 26, 2020 at 23:58

HP keyboards can generally be replaced, though its not entirely trivial (working on laptop hardware rarely is).– Frank ThomasJun 27, 2020 at 2:11

If possible use an external keyboard to type your password
Also there is a button on you loggin screen for accessibility press it and then use the option of on-screen keyboard then type your password
