My friends daughter just had a baby and somehow she forgot her password cause it has been so long since she used this perticular laptop. But because her younger brother had been messing around with it lately he got her locked ot of the bios I think ? I'm not real good with computers and stuff like this so thats why I'm asking for your guys' help.
When I turned it on its just a blackish screen with a long blue narrow box that asks says "Enter Administrator Password or Power on Password"
We would really appreciate all help we can get in this matter.
thank you
sincerely,
Tom

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