DVD won't Play

If i understood you right you need a DVD player program. If so i would recommend you to try VLC Media Player.. VLC is a portable multimedia player, encoder, and streamer supporting many audio and video codecs and file formats as well as DVDs, VCDs, and various streaming protocols..

Forgot user password

Well, you can enter to the computer in "safe mode" by using(inserting) a cd with the Knoppix operative system, to recover your important files, when finished, extract the cd, and then, you must give format (reinstall operative system) to your computer. Any doubts feel free to give details or ask. Regards!

When I turn it on, both the temp and the lamp lights flash and the projector shuts down.

It sounds like either the bulb has gone bad or the high voltage igniter has gone bad, they take around 5kv to start the bulb then run at around 60v continuous, look into the projector lense in the dark if you see the bulb flash but not catch chances are your bulb is at the end of life

If you do not press <Ctrl><F11> in time, let the computer finish restarting, and then
restart the computer again.

NOTICE: If you do not want to proceed with PC Restore, click Reboot in the following step.

3 On the next screen that appears, click Restore.

My cmos battery is dead

The battery is located on the mother board. It is about the size of a nickle. Some batteries are located in odd places and you may not see it right away, but it will be there. Most likely it will be a 2032 battery available in most drugstores or computer shops.
