Try taking the ram out as well it should reset. Maybe a power cycle.

Re: bios password
Try this one. Start at the second section where it says How to Bypass or Remove a BIOS Password using Software
http://www.technibble.com/how-to-bypass ... -password/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
I just glanced over the article so I don't know how hard it will be, seems easy.

Re: bios password
Ok man. I don't know of any computer shops around that would do that so I'd have to do everything myself. Hope it works. If you run into anything else let us know.

Re: bios password
Thats how CompUSA was here in the states. They wanted $200 just to touch it, then the cost of labor and repair hardware.
