My neighbor's son has apparently locked their family computer.
A dialog box has been brought up indicating that the computer is "locked" and requires a password to continue.  However, nothing appears in the box when my neighbor tries to type in the password.  Google has brought up multiple ways to lock a workstation down, but none of them seem to present the same behaviors as what's happened to my neighbor.  Does anyone have experience with behaviors like this?

As an aside, this might be a virus or spyware, as it seems to exhibit a normal behavior in an abnormal way.
