Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.basics,microsoft.public.windowsxp.general,microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support (More info?)

I am a bit embarrassed on the post on missing cdroms and flash memory stick.
I have that tweakui program for XP and i deleted or unchecked i guess the
drives over G i figured i didnt need them, wrong.
I need help an another real problem. I did some work on a friends computer
and when she was here i told her she should put in an admin password when i
was i cmos. I have to go back to cmos and cannot get in, the password she
put in doesnt work.
How can i override it and get in to put another one in. I installed xp over
ME if that makes a difference. The password was put in with ME.
HELP pl,ease
Bruce

Try pulling the motherboard battery, then jumper the two pins by the battery
slot.. that should clear any bios passwords..
