My brother gave me his laptop, and it has a BIOS password on it....................he has no idea how it got there...............when i try to start windows I get a black screen, when i try to enter BIOS I get password....................I was trying to use backdoor passwords, but i shuts the comp down after 3 failures, and there are so many different passwords...................

The exact make and model is HP Pavilion N5350 (Notebook)

Any help would be appreciated!!!

It's a laptop.. the battery doen't even come close to looking like that..

jacob:

If you have the manual for the laptop, it should tell you how to open the case to replace the battery.. Rather than replacing it, just remove it for a couple of hours (keep the laptop powered off and unplugged as well).. Put it back in and try BIOS now..

If you don't have the manual, then go to HP's homepage, search that make and model and download the manual to your system..

ok ive been goofing with this laptop for hours, and i can't find the battery.................im very familiar with the inner workings of a Desktop...............but this laptop seems almost painfull to work in side.............ive removed at leat 25+ screws and i can see....the hard drive the cd drive the expansion slot drive, and there is a box in the corner by the fan........i would guess this is where the battery is located but idk...............wish i had a digital camera....

My mistake about the battery - ask the HP tech support on how to reset the BIOS in this laptop

HERE is the manual for that laptop.. The battery location is shown on page 12.
