Http://www.emachines.com/support/product_support.html?cat=Desktops&subcat=T%20Series&model=T3522 Chat with a tech. I think a system password has been set by someone. Most probably a bios / HDD password. So you need to know that to boot. Bios reset may do the trick (by removing cmos battery). But you have to set the settings back to normal in BIOS. But if you have encrypted data you may harm them. (Rarely).

Hi! The message that you are seeing whenever you boot up the machine might be the bios or harddrive password. If there is another user of the machine try to ask if they put in any bios/hdd password if not then you have to contact the manufacturer to have the password removed. There might be a possibility that if they cannot remove the password they might need to replace the motherboard or harddrive.Hope this helps...
