489220	2006-10-04 21:56:00	Hi, welcome to PressF1! Is this the password for Windows or a bootup/hard drive password? If it's a windows password what version of Windows is it?	CYaBro (73)
489221	2006-10-04 22:10:00	How would we know whether this is not one of the thousands of laptops stolen every year?	Scouse (83)

If its a HDD password a new HDD will also be required in addition to the above. This is the case with almost every laptop maker now, to deter theft.	godfather (25)

The easiest way is by using the chntpw utility from a Linux live CD but you also need a version with captive NTFS utilities for most Windows desktops. If this is a BIOS password, which is unlikely as most users don't have them, you can clear out the BIOS memory on many motherboards by attaching a jumper to the correct place when you boot it. You would need to find the documentation for your motherboard which probably has instructions.	TGoddard (7263)
