just got an IBM r51 and it has that annoying chip password when i start it up. i want to deactivate it... anywai?

 

that annoying chip password is an anti theft device of sorts. it keeps information safe in the event the laptop is stolen. you're better off giving it back to the owner, cuz there's no way in hell you'll disable it. looks like the BIOS password is doing it's job...:usa:

 

no i have the password... i just dont like that feature. I deactivated it thru the setup but now i get some other annoying pass word thing by windows log on. that stupid ctrl alt del longon thing how do i deactivate that now!!

 

ok

 

so you want to disable the ctrl+alt+delete to login feature of win2k?

 

if you find a way to deactivate it, than you are a better man than I

 

so you deactivated it through the setup. Then the original problem is resolved?

 

goto the users section of the control panel, you can probably have it go straight to the desktop by deactivating something.

 

when it's booting up press that blue button... then i went in the setup/securityship sedurity/disable

that worked but then i have a error, saying the i should log on using the default windows... same thing now ctrl alt del and password(same as the IBM loggon thing) it's so annoying!!!

BTW it's XP... sucks that IBM doesnt let you disable this feature. It's a cool feature but i just dont want it!

 

Control Panel -> User Accounts -> Change the way users log on or off

is that what you mean/want?
