I have had deskshade on my mac pro for years and this weekend decided to lock it for the first time in a couple years. I made sure I updated my password first so I knew what to unlock it with. Well it auto-locked after my 5 minutes of idle time as I stated I wanted it to do in preferences. When I came back today and tried to type in my password it was like my keyboard was not working. No typing - I can't type - at least nothing shows up. I tried rebooting my mac pro - hard boot and still the deskshade pops up asking for my password. I tried the edges of the screen for expose - no go - tried cancel and fiddling around a couple times - nothing works. I can't type. How can I get my mac pro back?

Side note I CAN use my macbook to enter into my mac pro files by the Connect As - just can't get on my mac pro.

Any help is GREATLY appreciated! Thanks!
