If this is a power-on password, usually there is a jumper that resets this on the motherboard. Last ditch, I have just removed the CMOS battery fr 30 minutes to 1 hour. This deletes all info (hard drive size, etc.) but the password goes along with it.
There may also be a vendor provided way of doing this. You might call Compaq and see.

I have a situation where I created a password to start up the computer, even before windows starts, on my compaq presario and I can't remember it because I didn't take the time to write it down, thinking I would remember it. I was wondering if any computer smart person would know a way around this issue? [no need for the, dumb not to remember password lectures, got em already] I just want to be able to start my computer again. thanks in advance SARi ___________________________________________________________________________ Visit http://www.visto.com.
