It goes straight for the password when it turns on. I believe it is a 95, but I only have a 98 disk. I thought I had posted in 95-98...I'm new at this????

It is asking for a password and no one knows what it could be? Do I wipe the Hard drive? How so if so? I don't know? First, is it asking for a BIOS (power-on) password or a Windows (log-on) password? If it's a BIOS password, removing the battery for a few minutes may (or may not) remove the password as well. If it's looking for a Windows password, then you should be able to wipe the hard drive (with a Windows 95/98 boot disk)... http://www.ehow.com/how_2162333_ref... You can skip step #1 in above if you have a bootdisk. "Pre-fab" bootdisks can be found here: http://www.bootdisk.com/

... if its a windows password it'll be very easy to bypass without a wipe...... . . ... Posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties http://img515.imageshack.us/img515/... Grrrr... ....more

Well, now it won't turn on, : ) so I'll let it be...thank you for all of those who tried to help...I did make a boot disk from that site; thank you, but don't know if that would have worked. Thanks everybody...
