    I have a Gatewat ML6731 that won't work because of a forgotten BIOS password. I think the child that put it on will recover but the computer is now useless.

    Normally this can not be discussed in these forums, I would suggest contacting Gateway. (Have you tried a blank password)?

    Thread closed. Bypassing security measures is a topic not allowed on these forums. JOSEA has it right...contact Gateway, prove you are the owner, and chances are they can help you.
