All of a sudden I started getting a Enter Password prompt when I booted my
Dell PC. This was obvioiusly because someone got into the system and set a
password. I thought the password was a administrator/system password so I
took the battery out and left it for awhile. It still came back to password
prompt. I removed the password jumper and replaced and was able to get into
SETUP. I went in and nulled out what I thought was a administrator/system
password, rebooted machine and got same password prompt. It appears the
password that was set is the HD password. I've tried to figure it out but
can't.
Does anyone have a clue as how to disable/change the HD password? It will
not boot to anything but the SETUP menu and since I do not know the HD
password, unlike administrator and system password, I can't change/reset it.
Thanks in advance.
