T430 hibernation

[sm3404]

hello folks, hope anyone can help me with this, my t430 is stuck at the boot screen with a lock icon and what looks like a battery graph, i think is stuck in hibernation, no matter what key strokes i use it won't go pass this, i tried removing the battery and holding the power button for 15 - 20 seconds but it still wont go pass the lock and battery graphs. any ideas?
