ask the person who gave it to you for the code

Normally you need to hold the left CTRL Key plus the left shift key. While holding these two look for the button that say scroll lock or cursor lock and hit that one. This will turn it off.

how do you know that it is lock, in my experience cursor can become defective in time and need to be replace. check in control panel> keyboard if there is an option for you there to unlock it. there are also built in controls in some laptop which makes part of keyboard disabled when external mouse/keyboard/touchpad is present try first to remove those

Try a reboot. Cursor or mouse pointer?

Press F3 It should have a keypad emblem with an x across it.

Make sure there is not a lock on the top middle of the touchpad that you can press to toggle the lock/unlock. if so, press it. Otherwise I would try booting up in safe mode and see if the cursor locks.

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

try to restart the pc and then check if the cursor is locked. You may use a external mouse to rectify this issue.. Or you may press Fn + F5 so that the touchpad is unlocked...

Just follow the steps carefully and you should be up and running again. Thanks for the model number.
