scouse Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 Guys I purchased a laptop for my girlfriend on ebay, it say it has an NT Password which is provided. So I though ok ill buy it format it and ill be ok. Problem 1 It has pointsec on it! I have a password for this Problem 2 I only have local access on NT so I cant format my c: for CMD Problem 3 My Bios is password protected so I cant get in there Problem 4 It has no CD Drive as it is one of those small Panasonic laptops and I wont allow me to boot from USB drive. Im i buggered or is their a way of hacking into the system and retrieving an admin password and entering the BIOS. Serves me right for trying to save a few pounds hey!

stegasaurus Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 This is probably far too late to be of any use, but there should be a jumper on the mainboard that will clear the cmos, which will reset all bios settings. You should then be able to get into the bios and set it to boot off usb. from then on you should be able to format your c drive and install whatever you like.
