How do you get into a compaq laptop if you forgot the password?

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.

How do you make the bar on the bottom of the computer appear?

If you are talking about the OSD of the monitor itself then you use your navigation buttons on your monitor to exit the OSD itself.

If you're talking about the toolbar at the bottom of Windows then right click on it and check unlock and then you can click on the top of it and drag it down, to bring it back up just point to the little part sticking out and then drag it back up.


Or you can press F11 while you're in your web browser to get rid of it (Note* this only works in web browsers that I'm aware of.) To view the toolbar while in Fullscreen simply point your cursor to where the toolbar should be and it'll pop up. Simply press F11 to restore it back to normal.
