Please help. For a few days I have been unable to use my computer. Whenever I power it on, it displays this message:
Enter CURRENT Password
I don't remember setting any password, before this problem started I had made someBIOS settings.
After trying to enter three times, this message is displayed:
Password Check failed
System Halted......
I am desperate now.
Here are its details
Compaq Mini 110
Model no: 110c-1120EI
s/n: [personal information removed]
p/n VT309EA#ACQ
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hi,
At the password screen, hit enter 3 times and you should receive a 'halt code' - post back with this code.
