I have an HP G72 Notebook that I had bought from an aquaintance, and the admin password is needed to adjust settings in the bios (I want to denable fn key feature so that I can just hit my F keys and have them, well, be F keys.) Anywho, I don't have the admin password that's needed, and I was wondering if someone would be oh, so kind as to inform as to how to reset it with removing the CMOS battery as a last resort.
The error code reading out when type in the wrong password three times is 98979817.
Any help would be my appreciated!

Shamo.
When asked for the password just hit enter 3 times.
Post the halt code.
