Good morning guys,
I need some help with a laptop for a buddy of mine. When you switch the laptop on, you get the POST screen along with Press F11 for this F12 for that, and Delete for BIOS. However that is as far as you can get. After that, an Enter Password screen appears that apparently was not set. Friend says he removed the hard drive to copy some stuff, put drive back in and when he powered it up, Enter Password has appeared.
I have tried leaving the laptop with battery and cmos battery out for extended period - has not helped. Whether hard drive is present or not, this Enter Password still persists.
Could anyone here possibly assist me with this?
Thank you
