    Hi,I bought a laptop and when i power it on it ask for a password,I have tryed everything i can find to try to get it reset and no luck,It does not have a cmos battery to take out as far as i can see to reset the bios,i have not removed the cpu fan to look under there yet but i do not think it is there.From the info i have found it does not have 1.It does not have a floppy drive to make a bootable floppy.I am not a wiz at these things and could use some help.thanks

    See if you can add a floppy. Theyre peanuts cheap, or give new hardrive a shot.
    Alternativly look at this or unless the laptop is *cough cough* 'bought' ask the original owner for the password. If however you did buy it legit you problem is solved if not then you're a bad man ;)
    Anyway read that....
