I have an MSI win 7 a6200 laptop. I got new one and setting this one up to give to a charity.
I used to use a Bios password/supervisor password. The one which you have to put in before Windows will boot.
Because I am giving machine away, I removed this password.
Previously, I had shop restore Win7, so no factory setting is available. I did, however, make a drive Image shortly after that.
I just restored laptop to that image.
Now a BIG problem.
Previously, I had laptop set with a BIOS password. I think that is what you call it; you turn machine on and prior to boot, you type in password.
As I was getting rid of machine, I removed that password in BIOS.
I did not have the separate user pass word.
Now with the old Image installed, windows boots and demands a password.
It will not accept the BIOS pass word and I never used any other password on te machine. I have gone into bios, it shows that I cleared the ‘supervisor’ password.
Any ideas on how to clear this up? I have a charity expecting the machine as a donation.
Perhaps, I could use my win 7 upgrade DVD?
Would this by-pass the user [password?
