steve495 Posted March 4, 2010 Posted March 4, 2010 i have a compaq de 7700 with xp home edition. When i turn it on i get a blue screen asking for a power on password(not known). I tried removing and reseating the cmos battery but nothing changed. Could this be the result of a virus? HOW CAN I GET IT UP AND RUNNING Quote
RandyL Posted March 4, 2010 Posted March 4, 2010 I'm wondering if this is a BIOS password. Many laptops have those set by default. Can you get into the BIOS? On a Compaq this is usually done by tapping the F10 key at startup. The problem is that password issues are usually something that most forums won't deal with. We have rules on it too. This might be something you need to contact Compaq about. Quote We are all members helping other members. Please return here where you may be able to help someone else.
