Password problems

[rogerdodger]

I have a Packard Bell Axcel 455CD Tower but can't remember my password so now when I turn it on I can't get any further than just turning it on. Is there anyone who knows of a way to change my password without needing my old password so I can use it again??

What operating system? It can be done but more info is needed so you can be referred to the right tools first.

I don't suppose there is a "Clear Password" jumper anywhere on the motherboard, is there? If there is, it is probably near the "Clear CMOS" jumper.

Or take out the BIOS battery for 20 minutes, then put it back in. Sometimes this works. It did for me the other day.
