BleepingComputer.com: system password --(i have windows ME)

the computer im using has windows ME just so you know. anyway i put on a "system password" on this computer a long while ago so my son couldnt get on it and do stupid things to it. but now i forget how to get rid of it...what happens is when you start the computer up the first thing u see is a black screen saying "enter system password"...then you see all the other things you would normally see when u boot up so this password is the first thing that comes up. Obviosly i know the password but i want to get rid of it so i dont have to type it everytime. and ah well thats it for now i cant explain it anymore so anyhelp on disabling this would be very apprciated.

I believe the following support link covers this issue:

Let us know if it works.

nope didnt work ...that was for something else ...that was talking about when windows starts.....im talking about when i turn on the power. its the first thing you see. but thankx for tryin the first time hope the 2nd time well get this fixed....well to be more exact (sorry i forgot to put this in my first post ) it asks me for a password right after that black screen with the blue dell picture so its the after that.....1. i hit the power button 2. i see a screen that says DELL then its about to go into the stuff u normally see but instead it asks for a password first.

I'm asuming that you are talking about a bios password.... You will need to boot into your bios to disable it. Depending on your system, it is usually accessed by tapping the delete key during boot up.
