Like most laptops, you need to take your Micron to an authorized service center to get the password reset.
You usually need to provide proof of ownership.
This is a security feature designed to make stolen laptop PCs less valuable to thieves.
There may be a work-around that will require building a special cable, dissecting the unit, or using special codes to access the password removal procedure.
Many laptops use flash RAm instead of CMOS RAm to store user and system settings. That is why you cannot reset the password by simply removing a battery.

If none of that helps, I have a very final solution. I use a boot disk with a program called KillCMOS. (Not to be confused with the virus; and I have verified this with Symantec.)
Write down all the CMOS settings that currently exist. Then, boot with the KillCMOS floppy. KillCMOS wipes the CMOS completely clean, removing everything, including the password protection. You start out with fresh BIOS settings.
Now, note I said this is a last resort. You have to know what your original settings were for everything or you will really be tubed. But it works 100% of the time. Contact me if you want to get a copy: rknrlkid@aol.com
