CMOS is a type of memory technology, but most people use the term to refer to the chip that stores variable data for startup.

If the problem is the login screen in windows xp, boot into safe mode (pressing F8 while booting up) and log in as Administrator and chnage ur account password or delete the current password or whatever you want to do !

edit: delete the second double post by clicking edit: and checking the Delete button.

btw: dont type in CAPS, thats usualy a sign that you're yelling ! :)

I can't fully understand your question but if your asking how to get past the windows login and you're on XP then try this:

I really can't tell if you're saying you need the bios password or the login. Good luck with it.

That's the solution to your problem. Use another computer (a spare comp, or a friend's) to download the ISO and burn it to a CD. Then set the BIOS to boot from CD and put it into your CD drive and follow the instructions. Be warned though, this can occasionaly fux0r your install. Alternatively, get the hard disk out and attach it to another PC as a slave. Copy everything off your drive onto the other hard disk and then reattach it to your comp. Format, reinstall XP. Then attach your hard disk to the comp with the data as a slave again and copy everything back.

i was unaware of that i wasnt yelling at you guys i appreciate any help you can give so when i boot up in safe mode it still asks for a username and password what do i put where


username ?
password?

inneedofhelp,
CMOS is the little battery that holds the bios and system time in memory when the main computer power is turned off. You would pull the CMOS battery/ies to reset the bios in a lot of computers.

What you need to do is to boot into 'SAFE MODE' (by pressing the key that shows on your splash screen while booting) this is usually F5 on some models F2 or F12 on others.....and then selecting 'Safe Mode'.
Then select your 'Administrator' account. If you haven't changed it (which you should do, btw) the default password for this account is just to press 'Enter'.
Once you are into this account -- navigate to the Control Panel and then to Users and reset the password on the account you can't get into.
This will work for XP Home, which I am assuming that you have.

Hmm first of please avoid typeing in all caps. Second there is something wierd about a 4 year old on the computer enableing a password. Seems kinda odd to me.

like i said i dont care if you believe me please dont waste my time with your simple negative comments i need help and unless your going to help me please dont leave me message's now i will be more then glad to provide a serial numer a service tag number a recepit number a purchase date and anything else you would so desire

We provided you with more then enough info, try all those suggestions and then reply again if it doesn't work !

OK.........so you have a DELL, and you have WindowsXP...............that must be home edition, right?

From Dell, you also got something called a recovery disk.............just boot from that and do a restore........... ( try a system repair first:))

"bestbuy"? $299 for XP............hell I could buy it over here and ship it for less.............you are getting seriously ripped off (hell, you have already paid for the software?)..........find a nice little impoverished college student........they will sort it for $50 max :D I suggest you get some spray paint and relogo them "crapbuy" "$99 for the upgrade"...............errrrrrrrrr try phoning Microsoft Corporation..............I am sure that that one will fascinate them ........as will the attempt to sell you a complete software pack that you do not need.

Serious.............find your recovery disk

Next time set up user accounts and do NOT log in as administrator

I am not sure what she did, but I am sure it is not what you think..............hence the scepticism........I think that she might have corrupted your installation..............try "repair" from the recovery disk. I am thinking if she powered down in mid flight, you would get those sort of problems, perhaps. She should NOT be able to set or change passwords by accident.

Give it a try :)

Thats right, because you have to type the password twice to confirm it. I dont think she banged and got all the same letters twice.
