clue :-)

Have you tried ctrl-alt-F1, etc (generally, the new user should be on
ctrl-alt-F9)?  If they don't work, is it possible to ssh into the box? 
I've had situations where the keyboard _does_ appear locked (though usually
even capslock doesn't work then) but you can still connect via ssh and do
some investigation.
