Dear all,
I bought this computer second hand two years ago, and recently had to take it in to get serviced due to some possible mould problems from leaving the computer in my damp Shanghai flat over the summer.
EIther the guys that repaired it, or the original owner set a BIOS administrator password, and I need to bypass or reset it.
If I could get a passcode to get me in, I would be very grateful.
Kind Regards, and thanks for your time.
