a question

i've got a question and i hope this is the right place to ask.

a friend of mine just called me and told me that all of a sudden, his computer wouldn't let him do anything. he restarted the computer and was prompted for a password. he doesn't use a password.

what should he do?

problem taken care of. thanks anyway

It sounds like an issue with the sound card, he should probably deactivate the sound RAM because this often asks for a password for it to send data to the CPU for central processing (because it is such a high security facility in order to detain bad clusters).

you n00b, hed be better off just hacking the mainframe, by reseting the ram buffer.

Well I am not an "mainframe." You have no right to call me that if I made mistakes.  This site should have some rules about harrassments, threats, and name calling.  I am still in the need of more help in that regards
