I have put a password lock on my ASUS K501 for when my computer comes out of sleep or hybernation. Until now there has been no problem. Now when I go to type the password, when I press the keys nothing types. Also yesterday it dropped off wireless connection and I can't get it back. Any suggestions?

When there was something like that, it would make all passwords useless.

When your computer runs on Windows then this can help you. You can use Tenorshare Windows Password Recovery Tool Ultimate to reset the forgotten admin password. Here are detailed steps:
1. Launch the software on the workable computer. Then insert a blank CD/DVD or USB flash drive into the workable computer, and burn an ISO image file to the device with Quick Recovery or Advanced Recovery Wizard.
2. Pull out the created password reset disk and insert it into the locked computer, and set BIOS to boot the locked computer from the disk. If your computer is preinstalled with Windows 8 and use UEFI, you have to disable UEFI Secure Boot before the BIOS setting. 3. Then you will see interfaces of Windows Password Recovery Tool, follow the instructions on them to reset Windows password.

Start>control panel>power > find the settings for sleep/hibernation/screen saver
Also, check all your settings at the screen saver level by right-clicking the desktop. There can be some funky stuff set in here.

You would need to do a windows start up repair. Look up the F key needed to go into the factory restore manager should be F12 or F10 but when you 1st boot the pc up b4 or while in the ASUS splash screen look at the very bottom of screen it will tell you there which F key to hit.

The number 1, in a padlock, means "Number Lock". If your computer has a numberpad, this is fine. If it doesn't, it means that the letter keys to the right will act as numbers (often printed on the keytop in a blue colour).

The computer goes in to lock mode when it goes into hybernation or to sleep after a period of inactivity. By "ruby laptop" I presume you mean there is a button with the name ruby on it? If so, just click on the button and if it is password protected, it will ask you for the password for that user account. If it is not password protected it will go on into the desktop.

Which make is this laptop ? is it Dell or HP etc ?

These are protected files, you need to "Take Ownership" of these files and then you can do what you want,, Word isn't too keen on you deleting files from Outside of Word.

There are some things you can do. If you didn't get restore cd's with unit, you can order them from Asus. If you got cd's then boot to it and restore the system to factory. If you don't want to order cd's then go to computer store and buy an xp cd and boot to it and wipe hard drive and install xp. If the system has lots of ram then just upgrade to windows 7. you can look online for password recovery but it will cost you money and sending them the info from your system.
