i can enter the bios it's a hdd password because i put it in a dell i have. and it still comes up. the guy "does not have the password" he said. it's only a 10gb hdd,but if i ever get an 80gb or something i will know what to do.

wait if you can get in the bios then why are you having trouble booting from a cd/floppy?

You may even be able to reset the password from the BIOS.
If not, and if you want to use the laptop for whatever reason [I doubt it'll be too good for general usage, but it'd work great as a web server or just a light browsing machine] then you *should* be able to work fine with a new hard drive. I would however suggest that you try to boot of a Linux live CD so you know it's capable of booting.

you could always try the obvious: Type random password options. I would try the common such as Password, and 1234 and such.
