I'm not quite sure if this is the right section to place it under, anyway I purchased a 2nd hand laptop a while ago but it seems I have to enter some bios password.
I don't know the password, what do I do, please help it's kind of urgent.Sad

Ask the person who you bought it from...Smiley
I'm assuming you've already done that, if so you can locate the cmos battery on your motherboard and remove it for a few seconds then place it back onto your board and boot your system.

Haven't thought about that actually, that seems worth trying.. sadly I'm not very familiar with disassembling laptops. I'll give it a try though, thanks.

If it's an old Toshiba, might as well try 'n hold the left shift key while booting.
