Product: Mini 1000
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 (32-bit)

My granddaughter was playing on my Mini 1000 the other morning and somehow was able to set a power on password for it. Guess I should have set a BIOS password -would have prevented her from playing with settings... 

 

So anyways, as soon as I Power it on, Im given a prompt for a password and then a system error message as follows:

    Password Check failed

Fatal Error. . .  System Halted.

[serial number removed per Rules Of Participation]]

 

Would someone please help me out here?
