HI I have a lenovo 3000 N100. For some reason this morning it would prompt me for my password to access my desktop and then it would not load the desktop it just show a grey to black screen. Please help

If you are able to open your laptop, take out the little battery for an hour or longer. This clears your bios, perhaps there is a jumper nearby to speed this up. All bios passwords are gone then.
Next you open your bios and make your cd/dvd the first bootdevice.
Insert your windows and follow instructions. When asked where to install windows you delete all drives and then create a new drive to format and install windows on.

try and get a hold of a disk called erd commander for your OS it has the facility to reset an admin password

To boot to the recovery console follow these steps:
1. Insert the Windows XP CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive, and then restart the computer.
Click(or press any key) to select any options that are required to
start the computer from the CD-ROM drive if you are prompted.
2. When the "Welcome to Setup" screen appears, press R to start the Recovery Console.
3. When prompted type "1" or if you have a dual-boot or multiple-boot computer,
select the installation that you must access from the Recovery Console.
4. When you are prompted, type the Administrator password. If the administrator password is blank, just press ENTER.
5. Now you should be at the command prompt and ready to repair the ntldr file!

Hi and welcome to FixYa,

You have most likely turned the internal speakers of:
Start -> settings -> control panel -> sound

besides downloading the driver, you need to install the software - it's titled usually thinkpad security solution.
