"O computador pede uma senha que eu não conheço."

Translation: The computer asks for a password that I do not know.

This one made me think about the difference between "pedir" and "perguntar". It seems that "perguntar" is to ask a question and "pedir" is to ask for something.

[Paulenrique]

you're right. Perguntar is related to question (for "to ask a question" we say "fazer uma pergunta")and "pedir" to ask for things.

[jackit]

I always think of it as if "pedir" is "to request" and "perguntar" is "to ask", but then I guess these two are pretty close in meaning in English anyway so that may not help as much as your distinction.

Why is 'which I do not know' wrong?

[Pauline863107]

I said “is asking” rather than “asks” because that is how I would say it in English. I was marked wrong. Help please!

[Teddzbaer]

The português is not in the gerund. So it shouldn't be translated into gerund

[xJC4Rx]

It seems weird to "conhece" a password. Like it's a living thing or something. Makes it much more difficult to know when to use conhece vs saber

[Paulenrique]

Yes, "saber" works better here!

[thene7]

It should accept 'takes a password'.

The English here is a direct translation but sounds clunky and not something any native speaker would say.
