Ok, It has been ages since I signed in! It would appear that many things have changed. In any case my good friend Tommy has given me a laptop-- an HP 6830s with 4gb of ram. I recently reinstalled everything from scratch including vista business 64 bit. I updated the bios also to the latest from HP. However this machine's bios is password protected which I thought would disapear with the update flash, but it did not disappear-- maybe cuz I updated through windows with HP's update utility. It is not critical to get into the bios, but it is a bother. I guess I am OCD enough to want to be able to see what evertything is set to. Is there an easy way to take the password protection off w/o taking this machine apart and finding the cmos battery?
That's the questiion! Any advice would be appreciated!\\
