Can i use phone as keyboard

[andylinaman2036]

I had trouble with my HP 320 all in one. I had to remove CMOS battery to reset passwords. Now i need to be able to hit Esc or F1 at start up to get back in computer. The PC doesnt recgonize the keyboard anymore and i cant get on PC to connect wireless keyboard to PC.
Is there a way to use USB cord to make phone (Samsung J-2379 i think) a keyboard so im able to get in the set up screen??

No, you can´t use your phone. Get any keyboard with wired USB and try.

Is the wireless USB dongle inserted for the keyboard?

Wonderful advice thank you. I always thought after adding a keyboard, mouse, etc you had to go somewhere like the control panel and click on it to make it work. I do have a working keyboard now.

Its been about 4yrs since i have turned this computer on and i dont remember the i think its called the 'admin password' is there a way around this?? And no i dont have a password back up disk for Wizard

I do appreciate your help i paid a lot of money for this and someone pulled the USB looking out of the nack one time and it quit working so its been on a shelf for a couple yrs. I would like to get it working for the kids.

So you can continue with a wired keyboard with Esc or F1, but than an admin password is needed?

A wireless did work then i had the dongle mixed up with a different one. When i hit esc. It brings me to a black screen with print in top R corner and says F1 to boot. Usually that brings me to the Windows screen where i punch in password to get on computer

 

[andylinaman2036]

I did it while typing the response to you and a blue screen came up when i pushed F1 this time i wish i knew how to post a pic to you because now im in HP setup utility screen

In this case you need to login into windows but you don´t know it anymore?

and It´s not a password of the BIOS/HP setup utility you need to enter?

 

[andylinaman2036]

Ok ill try that on way to work now b back either today or Wed so ill try n if your interested ill let you know how it goes

Luckily it stormed so im in HP file back up recovery. I have a 16 gig SD card inserted and only 1.8 gigs to back up but it only wants me to use a DVDR do you know how i can back it up to the SD card?

 

[helpstar]

Does this HP manager doesn´t show the removable drive at all? Maybe formatting the SD card to ntfs can help. Eventually you can use an external USB card reader or hard drive.
Does it look like this one?
