    I am fixing a laptop for a friend and i need to boot into a cd. I was unable to get the boot menu up using F12 so i checked the bios and discovered that there has been a supervisor password set, i.e. i am unable to change settings in user mode.

    The problem i am having is that i cant figure out where to enter the supervisor password. i.e. there is no "Enter your supervisor password" type prompt. At boot up i hit F2 and end up in the bios in user mode.

    Any ideas?
