My name is BERNARD,I have a problem with my Compaq mini 110.I had put a bios password now i have forgotten the password and it is asking me to Enter a current password.What should i do?
Unfortunately there is no real way of unlocking a BIOS password, the only time I have been able to get into a locked BIOS was to remove the laptop battery and leave it for a few days, but that was an old laptop. New laptops will store BIOS passwords in NVRAM to stop people from being able to access it.
You will need to RMA the machine to Compaq.
SOURCE: asking a BIOS "Enter CURRENT Password".
Its very simple. You can reset it by removing the CMOS battery and then putting it back in. You will have to remove the back panel of the laptop to get to it. This is what a CMOS battery looks like http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000239.htm

This information is intended for experienced users. It is not intended for basic users, hackers, or computer thieves. Please do not try any of following procedures if you are not familiar with computer hardware. I'll not be responsible for the use or misuse of this information, including personal injury, loss of data or hardware damage. So use it at your own risk.
A. By Using the Motherboard Jumper:
In most motherboards CMOS battery is soldered, which makes it difficult to remove the battery. In this case we use another method.
Almost all motherboards contain a jumper that can clear all CMOS settings along with the BIOS password. The location of this jumper varies depending upon the motherboard brand. You should read your motherboard manual to check its location. If you don't have the manual then look for the jumpers near the CMOS battery. Most of the manufacturer label the jumper as CLR, CLEAR, CLEAR CMOS, etc.
When you find the jumper, look carefully. There will be 3 pins and the jumper will be joining the center pin to either left or right pin. What you need to do, is remove the jumper and join the center pin to the opposite pin. e.g. if the jumper joins center pin to left pin, then remove it and join center pin to right pin. Now wait for a few seconds and then again remove the jumper and join the center pin to left pin.
Make sure to turn the PC off before opening the cabinet and resetting the jumper.
B. By Using Software:
I have found that BIOS/CMOS Password Recovery Tool is the most effective.:
BIOS/CMOS Password Recovery Tool is a program that works instantly to remove any lost or forgotten BIOS/CMOS password. Simply boot your PC to DOS and execute the program, and get access to forgotten BIOS/CMOS passwords in just seconds

Get online
and got to www.google.com In the google search box type: "HP

Look for downloads and drivers. Enter your model number and operating
system when requested. Look for manuals and search them for Bios Password or Resetting Bios Password.
Remove the cmos battery for 5 - 10 minutes. That will reset all data in the bios.
