Locked Out of MacBook Air Because Mouse Keys are Enabled

I am locked out of my MacBook Air because I accidentally enabled mouse keys. I can’t type in my password or name because not all the keys on keyboard work. I tried Touch ID but it doesn’t work. I tried Option-Command-F5, but that doesn’t work. I tried pressing Option 5 times, but that doesn’t work. I am frustrated that this problem seems to have no solution. Any other ideas?

I wonder if you could connect a full keyboard with a numpad whether that might do it. Mouse keys should in theory only affect the numpad and not the regular keyboard.
