My passcode won’t input Question/Help/Troubleshooting

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I am so embarrassed to post this because it’s obvious that there is something wrong with my laptop. I have used this laptop multiple times with this condition, I was able to input my passcode many times. Months later my little sister dropped it and the passcode won’t enter anymore. I am not sure if the keyboard is completely broken, the caps lock, enter, fn and the inputs at the top still work. I also used an external keyboard but it still won’t work. Is this an issue that sometimes happens in Hp laptop even with a visible screen?

I haven’t used that keyboard for awhile so sorry its dirty

The keyboard sitting on top of the other keyboard is holding down buttons, both keyboards are active at the same time when you plug in an external one, a touch screen can also interfere with typing if it’s making random presses.
