Certain setups with a password will use characters to prevent others from catching by the "over-the-shoulder" method. If no matter what keys you type in give you all "x"s, then that is such of a setup.

I've had the laptop for maybe......10 months? I''m scared to clean the keyboard because what if the little plastic thing breaks or it like, decides not to go back on, its so confusing >.<

Look for a keyboard vacuum or canned air to spray between the crevices. If you use the canned-air, try to make sure you have the room well-ventilated.
