Problem with HP laptop - BIOS passwords

[manowar]

Hi all,

A client of mine has a HP laptop (not sure of the model, I think its something like a ANX110) and he's recently asked me to rebuild the laptop.

However, when I try to get into the BIOS to set the boot priority to "CD-ROM" first, it asks me for a BIOS password, to which neither he or myself know what it is...

Do you guys know of anyway to get into the BIOS without knowing the password? I've thought of taking the CMOS battery out, or resetting the jumpers, but I'm not sure where they are located within a laptop, as I know they are quite fiddly to take apart and put back together again!

Can anyone help? Is there any advice you can give?

Thanks all,

Regards,

Jonathan.
