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. -- Richard G. Harper [MVP Shell/User] * PLEASE post all messages and replies in the newsgroups * for the benefit of all.

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. -- 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 news hi i know this sounds stupid, i dont know whitch board is yhe mother board i know there is one large one whith i asume is it, but there are no round silver objects or for that matter any round one that size.could you tellme if it might be behind or in a diffrent place.
