I posted in another section about the harddrive being corrupt so I've got a loan of a vista disc but cant get into the bios to set the dvd drive to boot first just to see if it will repair it, I still have to get into the bios if i want to change the hard drive but there is a password needed to get in. Any ideas?

Just a heads up. The admins usually prefer users to stick to their original thread instead of creating a new one.

Regarding your issue, see if these generic passwords for different BIOS versions help.

At that website, they also have a way to reset the BIOS password but it's a little more risky. You may want to try those generic passwords first.

Closing thread. We can't help you get around a BIOS password and you already have another thread going here: http://forums.techguy.org/windows-vi...50-laptop.html and this is the wrong section for your question as well.

See my response to that thread.
