    It might be a bit far fetched, but it should be possible to use a bootable USB, configure SSH access, and then access it from another computer, where the keyboard works.

Pretty simple, just use the onscreen keyboard & mouse. In unity greeter rather obvious, click on the accessibility icon in greeter panel, ect.



In the currrent 18.04 gdm (gnome-shell) greeter click on the accessibility icon > enable the onscreen keyboard, then pull it up from bottom of the screen with mouse.
