I have a compaq laptop to, I forgot the password to it and it only has one user account thing. I haven't yet found out how to fix it but if I do I'll let you know:) and if u do will you please let me know also? Thanks..
You don't mention if this is the operating system user account, or boot up BIOS.
The operating system may require re-installing. You can recover data by removing the hard drive and putting it in a USB caddy then copy the data to another computer, before re-installing Op Sys.
You need to reset the BIOS. Depending on the model you will find this inside one of the covers underneath. The popular place is near, or underneath the memory chips. You will see two small gold pads. These contacts need to be connected for a couple of seconds, using tweezer tips or a wire link. Some models sometimes have a jumper link with three contacts. Move the link to the other position for a couple of seconds.
Failing that, find the back up Lithium battery and short the contacts briefly. (Not recommended as it may damage the battery, but is worth a try.)
If successful, the laptop will resort to default settings and prompt for the time and date to be re-entered. It will also have forgotten the password and allow free access.
