It's possible that you can reset the password with a jumper setting on the motherboard.
Consult your manual for further details on how to accomplish this. Also, on some BIOS's, there are backdoor passwords installed from the factory. Your best bet if you can't figure out how to reset the BIOS, is to call Compaq and ask them for the backdoor password if one even exists for that machine. -Dan -----Original Message----- From: sari sari [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, November 01, 2001 7:13 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: power password prank hey all, I have a little problem I'm hoping someone can help me out. 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.
