First off, im not the greatest at all with computers, so bare with me im slowly teaching myself...

ok, last week i bought a HP compaq nx9110 off this guy (im assuming stolen) for $100..

thing is everytime i turn it off everything that i have done is wiped cleaned, like it was restored back to the way it was before i changed anything.

i looked over the programs, and did not see any ghost programs or anything of that sort.

i restarted the computer and pressed f10 during boot to get to the BIOS and it asked for a password, 3 trys locked out. i googled the default password settings for PhenioxBIOS tried them all, nothing worked...

i put in an XP black OS and restarted to see if i couldnt just install a new operating system to see if that would help, and then i see that when i insert a cd it turns the pointer into a CD symble for a few seconds and then nothing...

im not the smartest guy when it comes to computers, but i have messed around with a few and i have never seen anything like this..

im sure if i could get into the BIOS i could possibly change something?! maybe?! or am i just wasting my time trying to get in there?

i would just like to be able to save stuff. i diddnt mind at first, just a 100 dollar computer, but now its just getting annoying..

if you need any more info on the laptop let me know i will try and find it.

i hope someone can help, otherwise im pretty much out 100 bucks...

thanks!

Hi,

First off... as per forum rules we cannot help with ANY password related inquiries. This is because we have no means of discerning between an honest/legitimate request and something of the opposite... this is just to be fair and consistent with everyone.

I suggest you seek assistance from HP for the BIOS password or contact the seller if you still can. Given that, I have to close this thread... my sincerest apologies.

If you cannot install XP via your CD drive, try the steps here:
