So tapping F11 immediately after powering on does not boot into Recovery? Your hard drive may have failed. That can also trigger the request for a password when none has been set.
Immediately after powering on start tapping the Esc key. This should bring up a menu where F2 System Diagnostics is a choice. Tap F2 and run some tests.
