Remove the CMOS battery for 30mins.

How does that work? Does removing the CMOS battery affect Windows?

He said Window's password, not the BIOS password.

Mind you, I've had plenty of customers that wouldn't know the difference!

Is this XP? If so try safe mode and logging on as administrator. Often
password can just be blank.

A guy on Ebay sells "electronically delivered" prog. to burn to cd,
insert it, re-start computer, and follow directions, and you've got password
set. Offers tech. assistance AND 100% refund if unhappy. Got 700 feedbacks
with 99.7% positive--that'd earn my trust! Look at his ad, & his
feedback-history, & read from buyers who said it works--several got out of
jambs they said no one had fixed. HTH--if so, report back so we can all buy
one. And NO, NO, NO, I am NOT him/her and I don't KNOW him/her. If he was
gouging us with price I might tell you to get it, email me a copy, and I'd
PayPal you half--but hey, he's gotta make a living and his price is cheap.

I would be significantly more concerned. I would consider how long
the seller has had the account. I would also look at whether the
seller has an unusual number of withdrawn feedback. A bad seller
will leave retaliatory feedback to coerce the buyer into removing
his (or her) neutral or negative feedback.

Fortunately, eBay feedback rules are changing this month to prevent
sellers from retaliation, so eventually you won't see the totally
unrealistic 99.9% feedback anymore and hopefully you will get to see
honest feedback from sellers.

BEWARE, seller "detailedauctions" leaves retaliatory feedback
attempting to force ebay buyers to remove neutral or negative
feedback.

703 Feedback received (viewing 1-25)
