When you click windows-L you get what looks like the windows login screen at
startup. If you did not have a password you would just click your name to go
back to where you left off. The password would be the same as the login
password, if used.

Type in your password and hit enter, if you have no password, there is
absalutly no point in locking your computer (Press win + l to lock)

my friend accidentally locked his computer. We have the login screen up where
the user name and password would ordinarily go, but it is grayed out and will
not allow any typing. I tried pressing windows + L with no results.
