Wherever your fan and vent is located the processor will be next to it, but beware as laptops are not as easy to upgrade processor wise as a desktop is.

Not sure if your talking about a windows operating system password or a BIOS password that comes up when you first turn it on but either way, as soon as you turn on the laptop, keep pressing the f11 key and it should bring you into the HP Factory Restore. If it doesn't then you'll need a windows cd to restore your laptop back to factory defaults and then load the drivers and any software you'll use on the laptop.
Keep in mind if you have a BIOS password then you'll need to call HP to get help in removing that.
usually you can removed a lower cover and unplug the little battery to clear the bios password. you may have to search for the battery its either on the bottom or under the keyboard.
Be careful not to rip a ribbon cable opening it up
Thats a problem..... I think only HP tech support can help. The only thing you can do is contact them or replace the bios password chip... but then maybe the harddrive has a password also
You will either have to check the RAM of your system or the display.
To checkout the RAM, open up a cover underneath your computer with a single screw( that usually is in the middle of the computer). It contains RAM modules. Press the RAM modules so that they get fixed.
If you bootup your system with safe mode, you can actually flash the bios, and everything will go back to default. Dwnload the flash bios from the net. Try it.
