    I purchase a few laptops in an auction and this one when powered shows a screen with an image of a lock so I am guessing it's asking for a password? If so, what can I do here please? I would like to simply reinstall my license of XP Pro on this laptop but don't see a way to enter the bios to set the boot order to cd rom first, help?
