During pre-encrpytion test USB keyboard is not working to be able to enter password

While I was trying to encrypt my drive using veracrypt it had me run a test in which I needed to reset my computer. When I did I got a prompt for my password however my keyboard was not working. Restarting my computer does not help because it just goes back into the password prompt. From what I could find it is likely a BIOS problem, so it does not register the USB port. However all the solutions I could find online require me to press a button on my keyboard (F2, F12, DEL, or ESC) to fix it. Since I can't use my keyboard to press those keys the proposed solutions do not work and my computer does not have a PS/2 port to plug in a non-USB keyboard. Is there any other way to get around this boot issue even temporarily so I can uninstall veracrypt and get my computer working again?
