I bought this laptop the other day 2nd hand, when I switch the laptop on it goes straight to 'Enter Administrator or Power On Password'. I've tried getting in to the BIOS by pressing the F1-12 keys with no luck.
The system disabled code is: [i 52317505]. I've tried using the code generator (here) which does not work for this model.
I tried resetting the BIOS with 'Windows key + B' and it says 'CMOS checksum invalid'. I tried the BIOS recovery file here using a USB flash drive. It went through the installation process and rebooted. I'm back to where I started before with 'Enter Administrator or Power On Password'. I would be grateful for any advice as to what to try.
Thank you,
Kam
