Hello I have a compaq mini cq10 and I have removed the cmos battery but it still asks for a bios password on startup .

 

sn#  cnu0024tvr 

 

I have seen in other posts that it has been solved.. but the passwords issued there have so far been unsuccessful.

So I assumed they may be sn# specific.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

 

Thanks in advance!
