Recently I have started receiving a message about entering an incorrect password and having to put A1B2C3 before trying again, but I never tried to put a password in to begin with. My computer will 'sleep' and then the message of "too many incorrect tries" appears, Does this mean I have a virus? How can I make it stop?

? Are you trying to log in to your OS? Or into something else. If you are trying to log into your OS, which are you using?

Windows 10 has a built in feature where if you get your password wrong too many times it will ask you to enter a certain code (basically a captcha) before it will let you try again. Don't know when the feature was added, but I didn't know about it until recently.

I mostly speak from my own past experience from similar problems. My solution may not work for you, but I'll always try my best to help as much as I can. If you want me to see your reply, make sure to quote my comment or mention me @WaggishOhio383, and I'll get back to you as soon as possible.
