It's waiting for the admin user password to be entered in that blank rectangle in order to enter Safe Boot Mode.

idk what it is and what kind of password it requires.
The laptop is older than three years, so i guess that there is a problem with the hard drive...

Did you purchase that machine new or was it used when you bought it? That screen doesn't look like it's asking for your Admin password. It resembles the screen that appears when a firmware password is required.
