Help

I guess I'm next in line?

I've got a Compaq nc8430 Laptop

Has nice blue box and repeating anything 3 times yields

*

and it is locked

yes, just a single * (asterisk)

 

Thanks in advance

I have a hp mini 110-1046nr that is stopped at the bios password.  I have disconnected the battery once, and it still stops at the password request.  I have tried several passwords I have seen from other posts to no avail.  The system halted and the code is 2MC0035B2Q.  I could really appreciate some help getting the computer operating again.

Thanks for any help you can give.

Okay, perhaps I was too cryptic in my last message.
I have a Compaq nc8430 Laptop. When I try to boot it presents me with a nice blue box and asks for a power-on password. If I hit enter 3 times or enter the same word or enter 3 different words the last line it presents me with is a single * (asterisk). It is locked and I can reboot and do the same again. Is there something else I should be doing to get it to provide me more feedback?
If I wanted to attempt removing the cmos battery where could I find information on where it is located?
Any feedback on what direction I should go in would be appreciated.
Thanks for any help you can give.
