I've never used a Lenovo keyboard, but if it's like any other keyboard it depends where you're from (or more specifically which locale your keyboard is set up for).

If it's not as simple as pressing Shift+6, it might be that the ^ is a 'dead key', which typically requires pressing AtlGr (the right Alt Key) and the key with the caret, releasing both and then pressing space.
