My son locked the laptop

[Lavish1]

My son pressed random buttons on his sisters laptop and now it's asking for a startup password. What do I do since the warranty is up and I don't want to lose any pictures or programs. It won't even allow me to restart.

Sorry nothing we can do. We can not help bypass anytype of security measure.

hold the power button down for 8 to 10 seconds & it will shutdown. pictures are still there & can be retrieved.
