I am trying to boot from an ubuntu live CD then install it onto my system. However, when i try to access the boot menu to make th system off the CD i am asked to enter a password which i have forgotten........ woops...

If anyone has any ideas of how to get round this i would be very grateful.

There is no OS currently installed.

Thanks.

You mean you forgot the BIOS password? You can reset by changing a jumper on your motherboard.

all fixed, removed the motherboard battery. I'm trying to boot from CD but i can't find it in the boot up menu, any floppy disc boot disk which will enable cd rom drive?

Go into the bios, and go to the "System Information" area. Does it show your drive?

If not, then it's probably an unconnected cord or a faulty drive/psu.
