I came across a laptop that wont allow u do anything. U can't even go to system setup or boot option when u first turn it on. The booting cd wont work either. All it do is go to a white screen that ask for a password. How can I get around or pass that?

    That is called a BIOS password, but saying things like "I came across a laptop" doesn't really engender me with a want to assist you in what seems sketchy already.

    Well I do minor work on computers for ppl like virus removal and a young lady was told by dell that her laptop had a virus and she asked me to look at it for her.

    Call her for the password.

    Her password didn't work for it. I already asked her.

    If this was her laptop, she would have to put that password in every time she rebooted the computer, so pardon me for being skeptical. You can try googling it.

    Yeah... If she gave it to you, she knows the password.

    otherwise you, or she, are BSing.
