Evening all,

Brought a secondhand computer and want to install a new hard drive and boot from it but the Bios is locked by an Admin password. I've done the CMOS battery and Jumper thing but no luck. Have found a website that gives you a password when you enter the system number in but it doesn't produce the right password. Not sure if I can say what that website is.

Any help would be great. The system number is 27QFL83-8FC8

Thanks

Number8? If so, me too. Perhaps PM me?
