Glad it worked for you. You'll have other problems over time with lack of
access to your BIOS, though. If you can find the specs for your motherboard,
you may find a pair of pins on it that can be shorted to clear CMOS, giving
you access to the BIOS without the password. Or you may want to try a
generic password -- for example, "amd" on an AMD BIOS -- I've had some
systems that shipped this way. Or removing the battery, then leaving the
system off for a few hours, may serve to clear CMOS.
