a.) Keyboard and mouse do not respond to enable a password to be typed. b.) Cannot start in safe mode due to keyboard not responding c.) cannot access BIOS due to keyboard not responding to command
Have attempted with no resolution - a.)ensuring the PS2 cables were in their correct ports b.)unplugging and plugging back in PS2 cables c.) attempting to use a USB keyboard and mouse

If you are certain the PS2 keyboard is working ( Have tried it in a different system) then the only suggestion I have would be to use the CMOS reset jumper on the motherboard. If keyboard still will not work even to boot into bios, the motherboard has failed. I believe in most systems if a keyboard is not detected they will not complete bootup. Since you say it is getting power and will boot up to User ID/Pwd login then the keyboard is at least being detected.
