Compaq Presario 1230 Laptop Accessing BIOS Setup
Hi Geoff,
I downloaded the SM (THANKS), but that procedure on page 21 has to do with the power on password. My issue is the BIOS Settings password. However, I tried that procedure, but waited longer than 30 seconds to be sure of the "clear". Unfortunately, it did not work. I am still faced with the BIOS settings PW prompt. I searched the .PDF for every occurrence of "password", but the only ones I found relates to power on password. I also checked "Computer Setup" (press F10), but there was no information regarding a password, only power management, etc. The screen I see after I press F10 is: "PhoenixBios Setup Utility". Below that is the slot for a password. I also searched the .PDF for "Phoenix" (not found), "Bios" (found, but no information on a password). Apparently the PW is stored in the BIOS which no doubt is a "flash" BIOS. Again, thank you for the SM link, John On Thu, 31 Mar 2011 13:14:03 +0000 (UTC), in sci.electronics.repair you wrote: wrote: If I can change the boot sequence, I can do without the floppy drive, but to get into the settings by pressing F10, I have to enter a password. I don't have the phone number of the person I bought it from who lives out of town. http://www.elhvb.com/mobokive/edwin/laptops/compaq/Compaq%20Presario/Compaq%20Presario%201230%201232.pdf Page 21.
