password forgotten

Clarifications

Until the brain-to-forum interface is perfected, there is no way of knowing if you just stole it, or if you just forgot it.

Why did you put a password on this laptop?

Ok, since you are obviously of low intelligence and one with a limited capacity for just being, I guess I can do some charity work here -- again! Sheesh, this time at least try to go back to your post/question. Dont make me waste my valuable time again

First, you will need to get a bucket of dirty water to stand in. the muddier the better. Then tie a grounding wire around both wrists or ankles. Make sure it is nice and tight, you dont want it to come loose at all.
Remove the keyboard of the notebook. This will give you access to the components of the computer. The BIOS stores all BIOS and Windows passwords in it, so you need to 'release' them properly. Get a stun gun and find PIN 4 on the BIOS, put 1 prong on PIN 4 and the other on any pin on the other side of the chip.
Make sure it is set to max.
Get put the other end of the grounding wire on the notebook frame. put it in snugly, anywhere. It is best to wrap it around a metal frame part. Do this with both wires.

Stand in bucket of mud to neutralize any electrons or passwords trying to escape the vacinity of the computer.
Zap the BIOS for 5-6 seconds. This should clear it. However, a new problem. Clearing the BIOS in this way will 'lock' the processor. So now to unlock te processor, place the stun gun near (but not touching) the processor. It is best to find the notebooks metal shell right next to the processor, zap that instead for 9-11 seconds.

Post back with the results -- I sure hope you werent just wasting my time though!

setup a blast charge, extra strength.... ;\

[b]Here you need to take it to an Authorized Service Center and get them to clear the Password but only after you prove that you actually own it.[/b]
