Power-On password was removed by jumping motherboard, then I cleared CMOS by removing battery. When I turn it on the fan runs, and the CD drive revs up for half a minute then quits. I think I can use the cd-drive to restore system but I'm not sure. Caps Lock and Num Lock lights flash repeatedly when powered on.... Factory settings are Win XP
Does the computer complete a POST test? In other words do you see the HP/Compaq logo when you first power on the computer? If not then you have a hardware problem, most probable the motherboard. If you see it, then you can try to restore the operating system either with a recovery disc provided by HP or possible a recovery partition. Note the menu options when you power on the computer F10 or F11 is typically to start the recovery process if available.
The jumper you unplugged is damaged
replace it with new one

Start -> Control Panel -> Power Options

SOURCE: remove cmos battery but the power on password
if waiting 10-15 min doesnt do it then leave it out for a couple of hours because some compasitors take time to discharge.iv seen some of them take 24 hours before.
SOURCE: i have hp dv4-1465dx, how to reset bios without having OS
Hello,
Was Windows 7 the operating system that came with
your System? If not, What I would advise you to do
is this:
Check HP website to find out if your Laptop supports
Windows 7.
If it doesn't, then I would advise you to
PLEASE change it back to the operating system
that came with your system, or better still, the
operating system that it supports.
The reason is because that is exactly what I faced
two weeks ago....
I changed the operating system for my PC to
Windows 7 ( Even though it doesn't support it)...it
worked fine for a while, then later it started to develop
faults after a while...like stuttering, mouse pointer
moving round the screen, graphics displaying
improperly...etc.
I first thought it wasn't a big deal, so I fixed it by
repairing the drivers, and it worked fine once again...
After using that same crack that you said you used,
I started getting "Multiple Hardware Error"!
It would just Power on, Show HP Logo, Show
Wireless LAN indicator Led ON, and It will freeze
there. I could not even enter the BIOS.
In short ....Now as I'm typing, the system is
with HP Service Centre for they have to change the
Mainboard Outrightly!
So PLEASE, if your system was not specified
Windows 7, use the Operating Systems that it
supports.
Then go to HP Website and download the original
BIOS settngs for your Laptop then repair your
system with it.
But if it is the one that came with it, then let me know
so as to tell you some quick fixes.
Hope this helps you out.
Goodluck and thanks for using fixya!
When you boot up to the log in screen type in administrator as user to log in if you cant log in
during the boot up process you will see on the screen for a short amount of time press a certain key to enter set up press and hold that key during the boot up process to enter BIOS using the arrow keys scroll down to set user password or supervisor password you can change or remove your password from there
also
The most common way that we know on how to reset or clear the BIOS password is to physically remove the power from the computer by disconnecting the power plug and then removing the Cmos battery for 30 minutes from the motherboard.
Another way is to reset the clear CMOS jumper on the motherboard itself. Both of the 2 methods mentioned works because most motherboards use a battery to sustain the BIOS/CMOS settings for the motherboards PROM chip.
So by cutting off cmos the battery power, the BIOS/CMOS settings will be erased.
hope this helps
