• EMachine bought second-hand with BIOS locked store

  Separated from this thread.

  I just want to be honest and totally from the outset: I am disabled, poor therefor and with very limited income. for example, the death of my last pc I kept the hard drive that was an original version of XP 3. I was so lucky (I HOPE) because I found at a local second hand store they had a whole collection of different components for EMachines model W653a S/No. GCJ87 C00 07034

  SNIDS: 82800679890 with Celeron dual-core inside and Vista already installed. Well 1 problem was obviously it has not been saved for me and I have been able to use it as a "guest." UNSATISFACTORY! In addition, simply not true, I felt the guilt of an intruder. my previous PC was a (EMachine) model: W4685 w/a Pentium4 2.60 GHz cpu.

  The disk that came bundle w / that has some additional software that were not only temporary features. Of course, he had his share of temp-ware as well, but point is when I tried an installation clean w/a drive of SPX "home" that I had previously bought so I was ready when I got the machine I wanted.

  so, okay Oh great and merciful Microsoft, this is my confession.

  Now, what I have to do to crush the Vista installed on this machine still running sweet ' cept I can' no. do everything I want to since the previous owner has left the password of the bios! I'll be able to scrape Vista and claim ownership of this ' China since I paid for it loyally AND freshly install instead a Win7 OS?

  Thank you, altogether!                                                  M_EagletonMize

  We are not able to help to circumvent passwords that we do not know which PC it is.

  A BIOS password is also often used by business to protect the property against the better flight just a Windows password can make.

  But you will not be able to reinstall Vista or Clean install another OS to boot with a BIOS password, nor can you start the XP SP3 CD to do an XP Repair Installation that is how to adjust a registered old XP install to start on new hardware.

  I guess you are using the guest account because you have no administrator rights because the Admin account is protected too? If this is not you could create a new account and assign administrator rights in user accounts.

  Maybe better if you can't find it via Google how remove it eMachine BIOS password must follow these same steps to clean you have to make it work better: Clean Up Factory Bloatware

  Vista is possible to smoothly because the improvements developed for Windows 7 have been incorporated into SP2.

  If I misunderstood the facts of the case, please specify if I can see if there is more help that can be given.  Rules of the forum banning however help to circumvent passwords.  Am I correct that you have a BIOS and Windows password for the Admin account?  If not the last there is more, we can do to help you short of media to reinstall the boot.

• Where can I safely download a USER manual for the second hand Compaq nc 4400 I just bought?

  Can someone tell me where I can download a MANUAL for my Compaq nc4400 I just bought second hand safely. (Used)

  I'm afraid to use a non-secure site!  Also can someone tell me what times of loading, I would expect to see on the screen to a fully charged battery? This one is only show 30 minutes! Guess it must be replaced on the right? ;-) Please advise me on the best type of battery for my model. Thanks, Bart.

  Hi Bart1,

  You can download the manuals of the secure HP web support portal for your laptop in the manuals section.

  Since you bought it second hand and it provides only 30 minutes and then it's a good idea to replace the battery with a new standard or higher capacity. There is no need to buy an OEM HP part. Try to find one that has more than the standard 4400mah.

• I bought a mac mini from second hand for my mother, but I forgot to put in the keychain...

  Anyone could help me,

  I am new to Apple of relativity.

  I had bought a second hand, 2011 Apple Mac mini for my mom and I forgot to put in a keychain for the Mac mini, it's a bad thing for me to do?

  I use Mac OS X Lion, and I think it has OS X Lion Recovery on it.

  The computer held to ask the Keychain password.  She was confused because I did not originally put in, and now I'm more confused.

  I wanted to just give him a computer that was easy for her to use, so that she can stay in contact with his grandchildren and group of friends...

  I didn't know what to do, no one to ask, so I made in my 'new' Apple Mac mini in the shop so that it can be fixed.

  Here are the specs of the computer of Apple Mac mini that I bought for her:

  Any help would be greatly appreciated,

  The Keychain password is normally the password of the user, unless someone has changed the password. The keychain is installed as part of the operating system.  You can see the article below which covers what Apple recommends for the sale of a computer. If there are parts of what was not done, maybe that's the problem.

  Nobody here can help, and Apple will not help you to overcome the blocking of activation.  If the seller does not cooperate and remove the unit from their iCloud account, then you will never be able to use this device yourself.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

• Need help with my laptop second hand Satellite

  I have a unusual problem; I recently bought a second hand laptop that I knew wasn't working as I thought I could fix it. However, I discovered that all the decals identify which model I have are deleted. I know it's a Toshiba Satellite. The keyboard has a key missing "m", which I think is actually damaged as the laptop is a continuous beep on startup until the keyboard cable is removed.

  Also, the screen remains white brilliant at startup. I read it can be caused by loose or damaged cables or a contrast problem, but as I can't use the keyboard I can't really do much.
  When the system is running, I can see the rotation of the fan, I can hear the HDD works, but due to problems with screen/keyboard, I don't know if it s actually passing the start screen or not.

  So my questions are:
  (1) how the hell can I identify this machine when I can't start
  (2) can I use a USB keyboard to the diagnosis until I have the operation of the system?
  (3) should what tests I do to try to resolve the problem of the screen?

  I realize I should have ask the seller for info, but I doubt that the guy had a clue anyway.

  Any help or advice is greatly appreciated.
  Thank you.

  You've done well think. Before you spend your time trying to find the solution it back and I hope you find better second hand laptop in better condition.

• my iPhone 5s as to disable the password on it can't I remove because it a second hand iphone

  IV, bought a second hand 5s iPhone as got on it disable authentication code I can remove he tried to update like had red symbol iTunes so don't know don't not iOS is on the phone, he received the error 1761 he get half way through of downloads the software and it just came out of the dfu mode everything 1 can help me please thanks in advance

  If the phone was jailbroken in the past, put it in recovery mode and hoping the firmware can be installed again are just what you can do. If this is not the case, have it checked by Apple would be the next step. But if they find that the phone was jailbroken, they will not serve the device.
