Barb, I regularly fix desktops with the same problem, works every time. It must 
have been a CMOS password, I use Hirens Boot CD to remove admin passwords..

  My son-in-law's Mom gave him an old laptop that she bought pretty cheap from 
the company she works for. He was so anxious to see if he could get it 
running but it has a password so apparently he can't even get into windows. 
His Mom called her boss but he said he didn't know anything about those 
laptops so couldn't help her. Somebody told me once that they had that 
happen on a desktop they bought and that they had solved the dilemma by 
taking the "battery" off the motherboard and leaving it off for awhile. He 
said it then seemed to forget that it had a password. Does that really 
work???

thanks
