Bios password is a whole different game than a Windows password, fortunately
its easier to defeat. All you have to do is reset the bios, usually by pulling
all power from it. There will probably be a battery on the motherboard...

OK Guys -
I have a similar problem on a used Dell Laptop- but it seems the PO
passworded the BIOS. Before Win launches it asks for a PW and so far
nothing has gotten me past it. I asked Dell (IIRC) for help and they wanted
all kinds of history - like the PO it was bought on, when, how much, etc.
Naturally I don?t have any of that. Right now it's a $25 doorstop.
;-)
I'll try some of the solutions you all mentioned...

I have an Emachine with Vista Home and I need a way to get around the
password on the first page.
This came with the stuff when I bought everything but the real-estate from a
closed golf course. The PO and one of the counter workers have given me
everything they can think of but nothing has worked.
It comes up with the username displayed and has a blank for the password.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Harry
