the stupid thig won't pop off. I have all the screws outbut where the ps/2 port and monitor ports are it won't let go.
Yes - I hate waiting though unless it is one of those machines you have to take apart to get to the ram (compact) :)

I turn it on and get the dell screen and it tells me to enter F2 for setup or F12 for boot options. I want the boot options so I hit F12. Then it says it is Preparing for one time boot menu. Then I get a screen that says
This computer system, (serial number), is peotected by a password authentication system. You cannot
access data on this computer without the correct password.
Please type in the system or administator password and press <Enter>.
Then it gives me three attempts at a password and then powers off. And if I do nothing it powers of after about 30 seconds
Her password doesn't work.
If I press F2 it says that it is preparing to enter setup and then it does the same thing as if I hit F12.
If I do nothing it is as if I hit F2 or F12.
Does anyone know of a backdoor into this computer or of a password that will work?
