Fatal Error...System Halted CNU951340H

[fraser2k1]

I have a Compaq Mini CQ10 with model #: CQ10-120CA.  I tried to remove the bios password which was known.  When I removed it from the bios and rebooted it still prompted me for the password but will not take the old password.  I have tried a bunch of password on this site starting with e9lxxxxxx but none work. 

I get the three tries and then it says:

Password check failed

Fatal Error...System Halted

CNU951340H

I have tried removing the CMOS battery with no luck.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Greg

Enter   e9loq3fv1z

3rd lettter lowercase L

4th letter lowercase O

5th letter lowercase Q

Use that code to go into the BIOS.

Disable all passwords that are enabled.

If asked for the CURRENT password use that code.

If asked for NEW password just hit enter.

If asked to VERIFY password just hit enter.

Save and exit.
