computer password
Do you know where the jumper is?
do yuo know what it looks like? It should be right next to CMOS battery. I think yuo have located battery. It's pretty small. Maybe black or blue or white. It sits over two very small pins sticking out from motherboard. There are 3 pins. The jumper is sitting over top of two. The third should be visible. Note: the position jumper is in. Make sure computer is unplugged. Move jumper so it sits over previously visible pin, and pin next to it that was previously covered by jumper. Leave jumper in this position for approximately one minute. Return jumper to original position. PLug in computer and try to boot up. Should no longer have password protection. The battery removal should have worked!! So should this work!!! If it doesn't, I don't know what to tell you. No one else seems to know either. I have used "Online Chat w/Technician support". It doesn't cost a thing. It is a live chat with text messaging. Try it out. http://h20180.www2.hp.com/apps/Nav?h...&lang=en&cc=us Pick yuor model! guess! doesn't really matter once you get to Tecnician. -- Dennis S. I''m from Illinois. I hope I helped you.
