Someone has put a power-on password on the computer. You'll need to remove
it and most likely the Compaq web site will tell you how.

Look in the BIOS to see if some sort of password protection is enabled.

Look on the motherboard--it should be a round silver battery that is flat
and about the size of a nickel or so.

The large board is the motherboard. Perhaps someone that has that
particular model (you did not say what it is) of Compaq can tell you exactly
where it might be located. I checked the HP (Compaq) web site and could not
find anything.
