My buddy brought me a laptop that his kids had been playing on. it was working fine but now all of a sudden when it posts and launches Windows it has a little 'locked' written under the sign in icon. Clicking on anything just results in a black screen.

He needs the Lappy for work so he needs help. Please, please, please.
(although why he let's his kids play with the thing is beyond me.)
 
Sounds like it went into hibernation and got stuck.

Disable hibernation in the BIOS, take the battery out for 30 minutes, put it back and reboot.

Try pressing Ctrl-alt-del when it shows the 'locked' part.

Did that already. Nada. Anyway, the muppet came a few minutes ago and fetched it before i could do anything with it. Thinks i'm going to pinch it i guess. /shrugs shoulders.

Some "buddy" that is, if he did think that of you...
