Sorry, I forgot about the BIOS part. When you boot the computer at the
very beginning you will see a message that will look something like:
"Setup=F2" or "To Enter Setup Press F12" or "System Configuration= xx"
You get the picture, you have to press the key before Windows starts to
load or else it's too late and you have to reboot. Common key to access
the BIOS are F2, F12, Del and Esc. Just look on the screen it should
say. Once in the BIOS look for the password option. Be careful in
there, DON'T change things around you could completely muck up your
computer, if you think you made a mistake just "Exit without saving
changes" and start again. And don't forget the BIOS password because
the you will have to go through hoops the restart the computer.
