hi and thanks,
i had little bit more time today to try to solve this.I have bypassed bios password by removing batery for a while.
(bios password was set up by company who he bought it second hand)
Funny part was once i fixed my first obstacle, xp windows had administrative log in.
(required password).
I started thinking this friend of mine doesnt like me
This type of dell i s desktop and doesnt have anything to reset psw, bios on motherboard.(model 270).
Now i will pull it apart and use the spare parts.
I am one of this morons who fix all friends pc problems supplying parts too for free.
i found i have more friends that i tought.i am sure samo ofyou will recognise yourself in my story.
Thanks once fore for your help.
