    My uncle's ex-gf set a BIOS password on his 1330 and when he tries to boot it up, it just asks for the password and goes no further. Unfortunately, their break up was not a nice one and he can't figure out the password. I know that on desktops you can simply pull the BIOS password jumper and reset it, but I'm not sure how to do it on a laptop. Can anyone help?


    Thanks
