This is a common problem with Toshiba laptops. While the solution is basically the same, each model is slightly different. Please post back with model #, such as Satellite M305-S49052.

Problem: my hp laptop wont finish booting up. It seems like its gonna but it stops at screen that is blue and says password required. Hp Centario Xp or Linux unsure what OS its running Things I have...

The easiest fix for this is going to be reformatting the OS on the computer, from what it sounds your computer is simply well; locked. When something is locked you can fix this with a USB dongle with linux backtrack on it, and crack the password.

But that's not as easy as it sounds, so I'll stick with reformatting it would be the way to go as my answer. Sorry buddy.

I turn my acer aspire 5315 on and its asking for me to enter current password but i dont know it and dont know how to get past it what do i do ?

if the password comes up straight away on the laptop and its on a black screen, its a bios password and will be expensive to remove,
only cheap method to try is if the laptop has a internal lithium battery, remove it for a minute then put it back in.
if its a windows password let me know there alot easier to remove.

I have an acer aspire one series ZG5 that wont boot up in windows? what do i do?

Somehow the BOIS password has been enabled. If you dont know this password then you going to prob have to take to a computer shop unless you know how to access the motherboard and remove the cmos battery and short the terminals for 10 seconds. this will erase the memeory and reset the bois to default which doesnt require a password.
Hope this helps

Locked HHd

If you hook it back up in your machine, power down, and remove the CMOS battery on the board (looks like a watch battery) THIS WILL CLEAR THE PASSWORD in most cases. Once you put it back in after a few minutes, you may need to check the BIOS boot time and date, and other settings again to be sure nothing custom set has reverted to default settings.
