This has been mentioned before. Have a search of this site, this may help.
Try turning on legacy usb support for keyboard and mouse in the bios. If this does not work reinstall the drivers using a ps2 keyboard. You can pick them up for under a fiver.

And, just because your mouse is not working doesn't mean the keyboard is not - sometimes your login window can still get commands from the KB - try hitting ALT + TAB and see if the cursor appears in your password box - if it does, then type your password and see if you can get in (hit Enter).
