    I recently got a CF-29 tougbook on ebay. The ******* who sold it to me was so kind as to put a bios password on the setup, and disable booting from the cdrom so I can't reformat and put my own OS on it.

    This is potentially dangerous because of the potential spyware/trojan horses that could be installed with the system. I've tried a few programs, and I can't crack this password.

    I shelled out 900 bucks for this, and I can't afford another one, please help

    Discussion of bypassing security measures like BIOS passowrds for any reason is not allowed on NBR.

    Contact the seller for the password or a refund.

    Please dont bring this up again.

    Thx
