Can't log in - get Caps lock is on error - but Caps lock is not on

I AM A NEWBIE

I have been using Ubuntu for a couple of months now. This morning when I started up my computer and went to log in, I keep getting an error message that says "Caps lock is on." BUT it is not on. It seems to be triggered when I type the 3 key, which is part of my password.

My current version of Ubuntu is 21.10, linus E502NA TTy3

I did ask for me to update the version yesterday evening not long before I turned the computer off for the night.

Please help. In non-technical jargon.

Turn CapsLock on. System would think it's off.
