Well, I'm not exactly sure on that machine, especially since I find it hard to get into the BIOS setup on the Compaq whatever-they-ares that I work with. I usually end up trying one or more of the first six on my list (and sometimes I just try them all in one boot, since the shotgun method tends to work more often). Anyway, here is my list (pulled from a text file of BIOS master passwords that I found some time back). Del (AMI, Award) Esc (Toshiba) F1 (Toshiba; Phoenix; Late model PS/1 Value Point and 330s) F2 (NEC) F10 when square in top RH corner of screen Compaq Ins (IBM PS/2s w/ Reference Partition) Reset twice (Some Dells) Alt Enter (Dell) Alt ? (Some PS/2s) Ctrl-Esc (General) Ctrl Ins (Some PS/2s when pointer at top right of screen) Ctrl Alt Esc (AST Advantage, Award, Tandon) Ctrl Alt + (General) Ctrl Alt S (Phoenix) Ctrl Alt Ins (Zenith, Phoenix) Ctrl S (Phoenix) Ctrl Shift Esc (Tandon 386) Shift Ctrl Alt + Num Pad Del (Olivetti PC Pro) Setup disk (Old Compaqs, Epson (Gemini), IBM, IBM PS/2, Toshiba, most old 286s) <p>----- Original Message ----- From: "Dustin Puryear" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, December 14, 2000 8:03 PM Subject: [brluglist] Compaq Deskpro BIOS <p><em>> Does anyone know how to get into the BIOS setup for Compaq Deskpro's?
