Question about Sharp Actius AV18 Notebook
If you want to reboot and load from the factory recovery CDs, hit F12 instead of F2. This will allow you to set the bootup from the CD Drive.

I am assuming F2 takes you into the bios, sometimes the password can be dissabled in the notebook system settings menu, but try 'oooo' or 'ooooo'.
