Compaq deskpro en Hood lock

I am at a loss here... I just purchased a Compaq Deskpro en system. The problem is...When I was in the machine upgrading ram, I pushed something I shouldn't have, I manually engaged the hood lock mechanism, with the case off... :flame:

I've searched high and low for info on resetting the lock. The hp/compaq site is no help...


Anyone have any ideas how I can fix this?


Thanks in advance!

If you can get into BIOS settings it should be an option on the Security menu.

Thanks RG, I actually was poking around in there a few hours after my post, and found the option it is under "Smart Case" in the security options...

At the time of my post, I was not of sound mind to be messing with bios settings... :confused:


Thanks again!

You're entirely welcome.
