Keep a wired keyboard on hand for unusual situations like this. Any inexpensive USB keyboard will work just fine.

iMac is frozen at start page Turning on my iMac gets the start page up, fails to add the side and bottom bar options and will not allow me to enter my password. I have completely turned it off, unplugged it, waited for over 5 minutes and still the same problem. It is completely up to date re upgrades. I am typing this on my iPad.
