My Computer says it is Locked and contact the Administrator
Why does it do this?
If a user does not log off, after several minutes the system goes to sleep and locks the screen until the user comes back to protect their files.
What do I do if this happens?
If it is during the day and obviously the student/staff have something they are currently working, grab them and have them unlock, save their work, and explain that this ties up the resource so that others can not use it.  It is important that you log out.
If after hours and obviously someone just left things on hitting the reset button to restart the computer will allow the system to provide login.
Note 1 – This will erase any unsaved work
Note 2 – While rebooting the computer is the only way to get around this, there is a very small chance that this will cause system damage and a reload of the system will be needed, so only do if that last option
