i we talking about a user password which can be got round or a hd password which makes the hard drive inaccessible and unusable or some other.

Would i be right in guessing its a Dell laptop?

if its asking for a password as soon as you switch on the laptop, then there could be 2 passwords on the machine.

1. bios password
2. hard drive password

to find out which password its asking for, remove the hard drive then boot up the laptop. if it still asks for a password its the bios password it wants & bcos u dont have it then u need to short 2 pins on the eprom chip to clear it using a paper clip. but will need to know the make & model of the laptop as the Eprom chip is located differently on each motherboard.

if its not asking for the password then its a password on the hard drive. in which case the best thing to do is buy another hard drive & stick it in, install your O/S then your away
