First of all, please refrain from DOUBLE POSTING in the future. You should have posted your problem here --> http://www.techspot.com/vb/showthrea...threadid=14628
since it is related to the thread.

No offence but stop using the word "Help" and "please" in your future thread titles. Its really really really ANNOYING. Begging for help is not tolerated in this forum. Help will always come itself.

Most desktop Phoenix BIOSes have a backdoor password which is very simple: phoenix
(all small letters, no capitals)
Try this on your laptop.

For more information, see here:

Finally, here is a little utility that can probably read that password.
