I
looked up 1155 and while there is a Presario by that model number, it
comes
with Win XP so I doubt that is the correct number for your machine. Do
you
have any of the documentation that came with the computer--bill of
sale,
user guide, etc., that might give the model number? If you can get the
model number, you can use Google to try to locate info on clearing the
BIOS
password on that specific model.


I don't know if it will help, but I havequite a lot of technical
manuals/manual extracts for Compaqs (in PDF format). I agree with Ron re
the model number you have posted, it doesn't look right. If you can come
up with a model number, I may well have a manual that could help.
