Re: General Password



Jodelle;
There is no such thing as a "General Password".
You are talking about the BIOS password.
The BIOS password is a feature of the motherboard and has nothing to do with
Windows .
Check your motherboard/computer manual and/or contact the manufacturer for
BIOS password details.
