Hi,
Been trying to get into my "Boot up" and "Set up" menu's, but
unfortunately,
it seems I have lost the password. I get three attempts and then windows
starts normally.
Is there any way I can retrieve my "boot up" password, which is different
from my log on password.
Help!


Presumably you mean a BIOS password?
Are you on a laptop or a desktop?
