i suggest that you first try hitting enter to get the boot comercial from your screen, than try F1, F3, Del... they usualy work, if not call compaq support and ask them.

You do not say which model number?

However visit:

http://www.compaq.com/support/files/

and download the Diagnostics/Setup and/or the Supplemental Programs SoftPaq for the model of ComPaq Laptop you have.

You will also find the FAQ and Forum for ComPaq Computers on this page!

This is the correct page for your laptop:

http://www.compaq.com/support/files/portables/us/1_20.html

As I posted above, download the 'Computer Setup and Diagnostics for Portables' (SoftPaq SP 2054) This is a 2 Disk Set. Disk 1, Computer Setup/P is the BIOS Setup Program. ComPaq Laptops do not have HotKey Access to BIOS, But a Boot Disk Setup.

This will enable you to set the Password.

Simply press ESC while turning on and keep it
until a Keyboard Error appears.
The computer then asks you if you wanna
access the bios
