Answer 1

reset your cmos

- use the cmos resaet jumper on your motherboard - just put the jumper across pins 2 and 3 rather than 1 or 2 for 30 secs or so

change it back and boot

or take out the bios battery for a while - that works too



failing all of these youl need to create a bios disc from another pc - download the bios for your mobo (an earlier version methinks :P) and follow the instructions

Answer 2

if u dont understand the thank you to define the jumper on your motherboard that resets the bios and or password, run your abode windows set up disk from abode windows and choose the alternative that asserts, and it will ask you to reboot after it copys some setup records from the disk. u wont desire the bios password.
