How do you reset the power on password on a Compaq 6720s laptop

SOURCE: reset power on bios password on compaq 2200

theres a small battery in you computer you have to pull for like 5 minutes you can find out what it looks like on youtube.com or wonderhowto.com

Look around the Internet for a blank administrator password CD. You can find various ones to download (like UBCD) and then create a bootable CD. Once that is done, simply boot, using the CD, and follow the prompts to blank the administrator password. Log in using the admin account and create a good, strong (but memorable) password.

I hope this helps. If it does, please rate the solution.

Sounds like the hard drive was locked, or the BIOS was locked. If the hard drive was locked, you must replace the hard drive. if the BIOS was locked you willl need to reset the bios. You can likely remove the CMOS battery to reset the bios.

Hello,

If you dont know the Power on password for your System, forgotten it, or its not accepting it

again, then you might have to reset your CMOS.

Which means you will have to unscrew your system, remove all cables supplying power to the

board, locate the CMOS battery and remove it for a few seconds, then replace it and screw your

system back.

This will reset your system's CMOS back to its Factory default settings.

(If you can't unscrew your PC yourself, you can just get a good technician to do it for you

instead.)

Hope it helps.
Goodluck!
