Dec 13, 2007

-   Same thing with mine, i have the password BUT i am unable to reformate OR remove the password itself, i can not get into the bios .. i even went as far as taking the thing apart to look for the CMOS jumper ( near the bios backup battery) BUT to my surprise there was no jumper or battery that i can see. SO, im am lost - i fear i may have just payed for a laptop that i cant not "clean up" to make it my own.. :-(( please help someone..-   Chippz

If this is an XP computer, you should try to login as administrator first. It's very common for this password to be left blank. Just enter "administrator" as the user and press enter. Re-installing the OS can be very time consuming, so this may be worth trying first.
See here for the procedure:

To reset" the computer. You'll need the disks that came with the computer. Either recovery disks or an OS install disks. This procedure varies from computer to computer, so I can't tell you much with out the make and model info.
