LAPTOP SCREEN BLANK EXCEPT "LOCK" ICON Closed

Question

Hello,
old ibm thinkpad - turned on yesterday and all I got was  blank screen except for 2 icons in the upper left corner - a screen and a padlock.  no curser and a "beep" when I touch any key. 
kids recently tried changing id and passwords.  battery dead - running on a/c.  
any ideas?  
thanks,  al

No this question was not answered this is IBM power on password. It is usualy last 4 digist of the serial no of the latptop. if that doesnt help you will need to bring it for guys to unlock it ;)
