Do not write in all caps. It is a form of yelling. We will get to you in time if you are simply frustrated.

Do you know how that password got on there? Did you let a friend use it?

If he's not used to opening the laptop case, getting at the battery will be hard. The YouTube link I provided is an easier way.

Yeah, just change the jumpers for the bios reset and leave it changed for like half a minute and switch the jumper back.

Easy fix

Exactly. It's not hard..
