Basically, somebody in my house spilled soda on their laptop. Now, every time they press a key, it thinks they pressed 5 different ones.(ie pressing backspace will think they pressed q, w, f, ~, and &) The problem with this is, they restarted the laptop after this happened, and now they can't enter their password. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Just divide by 5 to balance the equation. Press 1/5 of the key.

Take it to a repair shop, or - if you're feeling adventurous - take the computer apart and try to clean the keyboard.

Oh, you think darkness is your ally. You merely adopted the dark. I was born in it, molded by it. I didn’t see the light until I was already a man. By then, it was nothing to me but BLINDING!

I spilled booze all over my buddy's keyboard the other day. I did the right thing, though. I wiped it down with a towel and got the hell out of there.

Also, before you ask, Google did not help.

happened to me too

use the impaired keyboard, the one on your screen you click on to type.

no way to fix the keyboard yourself

if you have a mac create a new moderator account to change your password to something you are able to type.

How do you bring that up on Windows Vista, specifically at the screen where it shows all the user accounts?

Turn it off, leave it to dry completely, turn it back on. If problem persists, pull the keyboard off and clean it. If problem still persists, source a replacement keyboard.

I suck at Halo 3, deal with it.

I share this account and GT with a family member so expect different types of posts.

Place it in bag of rice and leave it for a night.
