Since next time you run it it'll change (unless you give it a password so it stays the same). When you say its locked can you get into windows tho?? It maybe ransomware malware.

1284521 2012-07-02 10:31:00 Its quite easy really, you start in safe mode, remove a certain reg key and one exe file and that allows windows to run normally, then you can run anti-malware programs to check for other infections.

Did one of these a week ago and found quite a few other infections as well.


I'm not posting the reg key because removing the wrong one can cause problems if a person doesn't know anything about the registry.
