I don't know who you are responding to but I'll take a crack at it. Is the
very first thing you see on your monitor the 3 X 6 rectangle--there is no memory (ram) count, there is no writing telling you what key to click to enter setup (BIOS), etc? -- Regards Ron Badour, MS MVP for W98 Tips: http://home.satx.rr.com/badour Knowledge Base Info: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?pr=kbinfo "mike" wrote in message ... dont understand your answer if the computer is turned on and it shows a 3x6 sqaure that says computer password with a key and nothing will change this how can i start it in safe mode or enter anything if nothing will change. |

I don't know if mike knows who he/she is. There are at least three threads
in two newsgroups running on the exact same question from the same person. I have suggested that mike check his/her computer manual and/or the Compaq web site for instructions on disabling the boot-up password which he/she has somehow set. -- Richard G.
