Password check fail; CNU927B3CW, help!

[The_Xena_bear]

I haven’t used my old hp mini 110 in a very long time. I remember vaguely having issues with it after loaning it to my kid sister about 10 years ago. Anywho now upon startup it asks for a current password, which I don’t know what is, since my usual passwords aren’t accepted. 

After attempting all the passwords I remember it finally says: 

     “   Password check failed. Fatal error… System halted. CNU927B3CW. “

I’ll look into Google proves that my code beginning with CNUxxxxx Does not yield any results. I’ve tried a number of the other codes from this more of that begin with e’s but it does not work. Can anyone tell me what the right code would be so that I can access my old computer again does not yield any results. I’ve tried a number of the other codes from this forum that begin with e’s but it does not work. Can anyone tell me what the right code would be so that I can access my old computer again?

Also does this cold indicate what the issue with my netbook is? I had suspected that my kid sister had downloaded a lot of fishy programs and may have been infected with a virus at some point. Ultimately once I gain access to it I would like to restore it to factory conditions and possibly try to optimize it to be used for a little typing apparatus I can take with me to work.

Thank you in advance for the help!

Hi:

Restart the PC and enter this unlock passcode...

Thank you,  but it didn’t take that password. Entered it 3 times and just said the same error message again as before. 

I appreciate you helping me

You're very welcome.

Are you using a standard QWERTY keyboard?

You need to in order to use that code to clear the P/W.

If you are, and it didn't work, unfortunately I won't be able to help you clear the P/W.

Yes, I am using the regular QWERTY keyboard on my hp mini to type in that code. 

Should I try plugging in an external keybord maybe to make sure it’s being entered right?

You can try an external keyboard, but I think your PC is one where there will be no way to remove the password.
