To unlock your computer you will need to enter your logon password.

*Note: If you have upgraded your Windows computer to use Linux, the "Super" key is the "Windows" key. If you have upgraded your Mac computer to use Linux, the "Super" key is the "Command" key. If you have a computer pre-installed with Linux, like one from System76, ZaReason, Entroware, etc. then the "Super" key is likely to have a "Tux" logo or an "Ubuntu" on it.
