So I got this laptop as a present, but when I try to start it up I get the following message:
"This computer system, #XXXXXXX-XXXX, is protected by a password authentication system. You cannot access the data on this computer without the correct password.
Please type in the primary or administrator password and press <Enter>."
Does anyone know how I can change this password? I know that removing the BIOS battery would probably reset it, but I don't really want to resort to that because I don't want to open it up myself.
Any help is much appreciated.
