Locked out at login never got to enter PW
When I sat down to my normally sleeping or scanning computer this morning the screen said I was locked out. I thought it was odd because I hadn't restarted or entered my PW. SO, I restarted and got the same thing. I then tried safe mode and command prompt which all sent me to the locked out screen. I tried last known good configuration thinking the power may have gone out in the night. That didn't work either. I waited 20 minutes and retried, still locked. Any ideas on what to do? I am going to wait longer maybe an hour, but I really need to use my computer for work and school. I have scoured this forum and others and all give information on how to fix it for the future and assume you are past the lock out, so you can perform changes. I can't get in at all. This has happened before but when I used last known... I was in.
