Help White Line - Cant Access My Nexus 7

There is a white line that has appeared on my tablet that has a prompt to type in. It asks for a password but none of my passwords work. Can someone help? It wont unlock and I cant use it.

I've never seen that - and I'd be suspicious about malware or a browser hijack.

If it were me, unless someone knows better, I'd go right into recovery and do a factory data reset.

If that is malware related, change every password you've tried.
 
No, he cant access it so he called & asked me to help him fix it. I've never seen the prompt myself, thus my visit to these forums.
 
I called him on the phone and told him it needed a hard factory reset. He said he's getting the dreaded "no command" boot loop when he goes into recovery mode. Additionally he said when he hooked it up to his PC the computer locked up. Im thinking he's got some nasty virus on it.
