Spilt drink on keyboard...

... and keys t and y don't work (on my other computer)
Unfortunately, as I switched the computer off, I now need to enter a password to log back on again. Both administrator accounts have a t in the password!
I tried remapping the keys in the guest account, but as I don't have any privileges I can't.
Anyone got any ideas on how to either log in to my account without a password, or to remap other keys to t and y from the guest account.
Also, anyone know why those keys don't work? Could I have short circuited them, or have I not waited long enough for the drink to dry out (1 hour)? I can't see any evidence of liquid anymore...
I haven't got a spare keyboard either!

Re: Spilt drink on keyboard...

Unfortunately you're going to have to get another keyboard. Even though you can't see the water, it gets under the keys and damages the circuits. You can pick up a cheap one for about 15 bucks, or, you can take the keys off and try cleaning the pads underneath but it's a real hassle
