Compaq Mini 110
Microsoft Windows 7 (32-bit)

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

Hi,

 

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