I have a Compaq evo notebook n600c. I've had it for almost 7 months now and had no problems from it. I bought from a old friend on ebay and I have enjoyed it since I got it.
Heres the problem.
I currently have or had 256 mbs of ram. When I got my new stick of 512 from tiger yesterday. I was really excited to put it in. I opened up the slot on the bottom of my laptop and removed one of two sticks of 128 ram. Getting the 512 ready to put in. I realize I was sent the wrong pin. I needed a 133. So, anyway, I put the new ram back up and call tiger and get a exchange squared away.
I put the 128 of ram back in and surprise. My laptop won't detect it. I do some research and find out that I might have to refresh the information in the bios. I try and go into bios and whamo.
It asks me for a password.
I have no idea what it can be. I have never setup one. I'm assuming its some default code unless my friend put one in while he was using it. I can't imagine why anyone would put a password on there bios. It just seems dumb.
But anyway, can anyone please help me fix this or get past this. I am going to try and contact Compaq soon.
