The same thing happened to me with my W 10 laptop. It took your same solution to fix things again. Computers are wonderful when they work, but can sure be mysterious when they don't.

Hi, everyone.

Well, I think I got lucky with this particular issue, in that the
simplest suggested solution seemed to work for unlocking my Windows XP
ham radio logging computer.

At the suggestion of a member on a blind hams list I belong to, I turned
off the laptop, took the battery out, and unplugged the DC power supply
connection.  I then let the computer sit for about 15 minutes to make
sure everything was cleared from the machine’s memory.

When I plugged things back in and re-booted the machine, things began
working again.

I am not sure this will solve my issue in the long term, since I
probably really do need to think about replacing this old Windows XP
laptop, but at least I’m up and running again for now in the ham radio
logging department.

Thanks to all for such a quick response to my rather desperate plea for
help here.  (LOL)
