I cannot remember my password on my laptop cause its been dead 4about a yr.....its a gateway pa6 ithink

What's a "pa6"? Who makes it? What OS are you running on your laptop?
I have no idea what you need, so it's really hard to help you.

Put you operating system again
or
buy a password recovery program to brake the password

If this is a Windows password, then you can ask local laptop tech to erase the password. Usually it cost $25 - $50. If this is a BIOS password, then you need to contact laptop manufacturer.

if you forget it again got this link http://windowspasswordunlockerenterprise.en.softonic.com/
its a free license software

These WEB sites may help you remove the hard disk password.
