I've locked myself out!

whattochoose

I've recently bought this laptop..

Like an idiot I've locked the touchpad and now can't get into it, no mouse working.

Fortunately I've a spare PC, hence I can write this message.
Any ideas how I can unlock it please?
With the PC there's an F key which enables unlocking, but I can't see one with this new one.
Any help appreciated.

You should be able to unlock it on one of the function keys.

There's usually a function key to turn the trackpad back on.
You can also plug a usb mouse in.
Rebooting can solve it too if it's not an issue with the function key

Thank you for help.
There is no function key on this laptop.
Because I have no mouse to manouvre, I'm wondering how I can do the toggle and spacebar bit?
Sorry if I sound a bit thick, but I'm not the most PC savvy person in the world.
Thank you.

Press any normal key and the password box should display, alternately press and hold the Fn key and then the f6 key the Fn key is on the bottom left

Next door neighbor lent me his mouse which was compatible with my laptop, was able to put everything right, still a stupid thing for me to do in the first place.
Anyway, thank you for the input.

How did you do that?

Meeces are cheap, buy yourself one or two.

A wireless mouse is usually best for a laptop, you can pick a basic rechargable  wireless mouse up for less than a tenner.

PHK

Poundland sell a basic mouse for emergencies.
