What does this error mean ?

I've replied to a thread a two in here yet when I get an email notification about it, I get this

In this case, the link was
https://www.techspot.com/community/...d-authentication-problem.190321/#post-1283147

& it had to do with a CMOS password which no one knew because it was evidently purchased at a 2nd hand store. It & the others sounded fishy to me which is why I responded to them the same way..TIA.

Because we no longer support discussions of how to get around laptop passwords, that thread was deleted. See the sticky in the Mobile Computing forum if you need more details.
