If it is a newer laptop you should report it. The newer systems have a LOJAK style program in the bios that allows the owner to track its whereabouts regardless wether or not the system has been reprogramed. But as far as doing the programing goes you just need a retail version of windows (what ever distro you like) and change your boot settings in the bios to "boot from CD" or make cd rom your first boot device - it varies depending on the brand of bios and its version) then you stick your operating system in the cd rom drive and turn your system back on. when it asks to BOOT FROM CD: just hit enter and off you go. It will ask self explained questions during the install but Im sure you will be able to manage

Need to unlock gateway 7330GZ hdd

So who put the password on it? 99% of the time if there is a Hard Drive Password and the person in possession of the laptop don't know the password, the laptop is stolen. The original owner put the password lock on the hard drive to keep thieves from getting to sensitive data. The owner could have set the password remotely once the laptop was stolen. Your system is toast. The only remedy is to get the original owner to remove the password.

Have you tried a blank password for the administrator. Just press enter when administrator pops up. If that does not work, try administrator. That should solve your problem.

Neef a manual on how to replace the keyboard for a Gateway M1631u

I couldn't find instruction on how to replace keyboard even on gateway website. Don't know why they don't offer one. However, I found this below link from youtube for you. It shows how to step to disassembly and repair gateway parts. It is very easy to replace keyboard. Just watch the video, and I am sure you can do it.

Other link is general information about the gateway keyboard for your model

My laptop keeps saying no bootable divice found

Hello!

I don´t know is your laptop older or is newest, but or you have trouble with you hard drive (see in bios,does you hard drive there), or you have trouble with system.
You can try repair installation (don´t lose your data), or you can install a new system.
Good luck, i hope so that I was helpful.

Forgotten password

If you lost your windows password, try a program called "ophcrack-win32-installer-3.0.1.exe" or "ophcrack-xp-livecd-2.0.1.iso". These will crack and show any windows based usename and password on your computer.  If the problem is the bios password, for starting your laptop, then you will have to reset the bios (check manual) or remove the battery pack and on board Li battery to reset Bios. I would check the manual first. On old Toshiba laptops you could jump the parrallel pins to reset the bios, not sure on the Gateway. I will check further.
