win7 has a recovery process that will build 3 dvd's to restore system.
to access it, press the 'windows' key, the key with the windows logo,
in the bottom left entry bar, [ Search programs and files ] enter the
word: recovery press <enter>.
you will then see a window with;
Programs (2)
Recovery Media Creator
Recovery Media Creator Help
click on: Recovery Media Creator
follow instructions in the: Recovery Media Creator window.
this must be run as 'Administrator'.
if it ask for a password, which you may not know, then you will need
to pull "ntpassword" cd from;
http://pogostick.net/~pnh/ntpasswd
load that page, press 'page down' and you will see links to downloading.
i burned a cd to remove win7 passwords on the laptop i was given.
a little while ago, while having nothing better to do, ((GBWG)), i ran
some searches for your laptop.
i found several manuals, but none showed how/what to open to disable the
bios passwords, other than to remove cmos battery and let it sit for
30 minutes to 24 hours.
