I want to reload my OS XP and I lost PW Admin

I need to boot from the CD to reinstall windows XP and I lost PW.  That's why I can't change the BIOS settings to enable the "boot of the disc.  How can Irecover to this problem?

Thank you.

Change/disable the BIOS password is not a Windows problem. See the manual of your motherboard or computer mftr Web site. to find out how to disable the BIOS password on your computer in particular. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

You may also disable your CMOS settings using a rider or to remove the battery, this can be found in the manual or the website of the mftr.

I hope this helps! Please vote or mark as correct answer if it doesn't :)

    I want to reload XP Home Ed. I have no disks but have the key. I followed the instructions of some sites but can't find i386 or win32.exe or winnt32.exe. Can someone please?

    The disc you use must match your key - Type (OEM/retail) and Version (Home/Pro).

    If you have a retail license key, you need a retail license diskette.

    More common is to have a system OEM (Dell, HP, Gateway, etc.).  In this case, you will need an installation disc from the manufacturer of your computer to reinstall Windows (contact them).  In some cases, the Windows license is closed the BIOS installation media.

    Many newer computers include a "recovery Partition" that activate you by pressing a button shown in the first start screen when you start (usually called "System Recovery").  If this is your case, you will not need to install drive - just hit this key (quickly!) when the splash screen comes up

    Hello

    RELOADED 6.3 Lightroom and the icon is set to "keep in dock". Program is leave whenever I close the window?

    Thank you

    "Keep in Dock" and close the window of LR is 2 different actions.  "Keep in Dock" means that, even if LR is closed, the LR icon is always in the dock for the reopening.  If you want to keep open LR, do not close the window.  You can minimize LR as suggested above, or you can 'Hide LR LR in the menu.  Cmd + H keyboard shortcut

  • I want to move the profile data and the addons on another disk

    I want to move the profile data and the addons on another disk.

    Can I specify where Firefox puts the profile and the addons?

    If another location, then Windows uses by default.
    c:\Documents and Settings\User\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\

    WinXP, FF 3.6.8

    You can do this by using the Profile Manager. When you create a new profile, you can specify a location for the profile folder.

    You may create a new profile, and then transfer the data to it. For more information, see create a new profile for Firefox on Windows and transferring data to a new profile.

    4. in the past, I could map files and printer on the netbook without difficulty, but now when I try to map a folder or printer on the netbook, the system wants a user name or password, and I don't know what to say.
