Hello ..recently I bought a used Compaq 6005 Pro SSF and now I can't boot 'cause it freezing. I tried to access the bios to change the boot order (in order to start from the CD-ROM) but the bios's password-protected ...great, can't do anything
I found the "green" jumper which is said it's resetting the bios password - so I removed it for a while and also removed battery and anything else for some minutes, BUT the problem remains the same.
Is there please some help? Greetings, Anita

hello ...nobody here? 😞
I looked around and also tried to access with the code / pw, David recently mentioned ("62252458") but it did not work.
please help - I'd really love to (just) use the old OS win7 (in order to run old programs)
Thanks and greetings, Anita (Austria)
