Can't lock the lock in accounts/ time -date and other applications

Hi I am new to these discussions and i am hoping someone can help me with my problem.
The best way is to explain what happened..
I have a 2 core duo Macbook with 10.5.1 installed and I was screen sharing with my g5 desktop that also has 10.5.1 on it, once I was done I shut down my Macbook, and when I went to start it up, later on that evening, I had to now login (Where I have always had it on automatic login ). So I went to accounts to reset it but it was still set to automatic so when I, went to lock the lock I no longer could lock it no matter how many times I would click on it. (Just to mention that the lock was open by the way which seemed odd to me because it was always locked before) The same thing now occurs in time and date. I also went to check info on my hard drive and there is no lock on the bottom right hand side when there was one before.
I went to disk utility to repair, the utility would stop after a few seconds with the message in red "The underlying task reported failure on exit" I do not know what that means at all. So there is my situation.. Did I loose something, do I need to install something. Any help work be greatly appreciated. Thanks

What will happen if I am unable to repair it?
Right now I can login, I do not like doing it I wish the automatic function worked but I guess at this point I have access to all my files and everything seems to work except that I can not lock the lock in any application and that I have to log in every time I start up. The only other thing is I can not do any disk permission repair.
I will pick up a disk warrior when it is ready to 10.5.
I guess my original question is will my computer be ok like this or will things get worse?
Thanks for your assistance.

Where can I buy the "Dell MicroUSB Dongle For Data and Charging"

The Dell Venue 8 Pro support manuals page has two different manuals for a "Dell Micro-USB Dongle" that plugs into the micro-usb port and exposes a charging port and a larger usb port for plugging in other devices at the same time
I cannot seem to find this available for sale anywhere and it seems very useful.
Anyone know where I can buy this? Do I need a DELL part number and have to order it over the phone to the parts phone number?
The PDF manuals for the Dongle are linked on this page:
http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/04/product-support/product/dell-venue-8-pro/manuals
The specific guides are here:
Dell Micro-USB Dongle Quick Start Guide

ftp://ftp.dell.com/Manuals/all-products/esuprt_tab_mob/esuprt_tablets/dell-venue-8-pro_User%27s%20Guide3_en-us.pdf

The Dell Micro USB dongle mentioned in the users guide is currently underdevelopment and should be available very shortly in Europe. It will be available later here in the US some time early in August.
Be on the look out for it on Dell.com and I will post here once I receive any further updates.

Can I enable the root user account from the log in screen when I am locked out of the machine?

Hello everyone,
I am working on my friends mac to get it ready to sell. I went into the advanced options of the user and changed the name of the account. That's all I changed. I did read the warning that said if anything was changed it could cause damage, that's why I only changed the name of the user account. I didn't want to mess with anything else. Well, needless to say, I am locked out of the machine. Apparently the root user, system administrator, account was not enabled and I am stuck at the screen that I can get to with my installation disc. So how can I enable the root user account and get back onto the machine from the screen I am at? Can I enable the root user from terminal? I spent a good 8 hours yesterday researching this topic and have come up empty. Changing passwords from commands in terminal is not the problem. I am given just one account to choose from to log on and it's not accepting the password because of the changes I made in the advanced options menu.
Is there any hope of getting this thing going again? Or have I just screwed myself over?
Thanks for your help!
Leah

You can reset the password.

Do you need to recover data from it before you sell it? If not you can just wipe the disk and prepare it for sale.

I have created some objects such as pages and iviews in the portal. If i edited any of the object, then when next time when i access the object, I am hgetting a message as object is locked by admin, you canot edit it. Infact, I have logged in as admin.
How can we release the lock of objects?
Your help and suggestins solicited...
Best regards,

Login as the Portal Administrator.
Go to System Administration > Monitoring ->Detailed navigation -> Object Locking
Here you can find all the objects that are in locked state.
Now to unlock, tick mark the object that you want to work with & click on the "Unlock" Button.

Can't click the lock to make the changes, can't install, can't uninstall

HELP!
Help! I have tried everything in the other threads and still not working. I have deleted the file from ByHost preferences folder (which just keeps returning), still can't unlock the lock on my admin account, and can't update or install any apps at all, including the software updater for 10.6.1. It just freezes with no Admin Password box - the same error a lot of people are reporting. I need another solution!
Now it's just started saying:
Software Update Can't Check for updates because of a network problem.
Please help.

Ok, I've just found another solution. I removed the files from the ByHost folder, then I rebooted in safe mode (holding Shift). This then allowed me to unclick and reclick the lock. And now all my updates are going through!

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, or clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed in either article, filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

I can not pass the lock screen

I can not pass the lock screen, when I slide to unlock

If you can't get past the lock screen when you slide to unlock, try rebooting your iPad and then try again.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Help! How can i remove the lock sign on my ipad3? it can't open, rotate or turn to next page because there is a lock sign at the bottom?

Help! How can I remove the lock sign on my ipad3? it cannot rotate, turn to next page, or even open when it's on standby mode, even when i press the home button it cant open..thanks

I'm not sure exactly what you are seeing but .....
If you see a lock icon in the upper right corner of the screen - then the screen orientation is locked.
Try the side switch above the volume rocker first and see if that unlocks the screen. If that doesn't do it, double tap the home button and swipe to the right and look for the lock icon all the way to the left.
If the iPad is not responsive and you cannot slid to unlock the screen - try this.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

The "lock screen button" locks the phone. It will not take you back to the home screen. Thus the difference in the nomenclature for the "HOME" button and the "LOCK" button...

For the following:

It appears that when you remote lock the iPod you also provide the passcode required t unloct the iPod. You can can always unlock/use the devce again by placing the iPod in recovery mode and restore via iTunes.
