    Someone gave me a computer..but they don't know the password to enter when you first turn it on...

    So you turn it on and then it says 'enter password'

    What can I do to get around this..? anything...?

    As a SciForums member, I will tell you that is a BIOS password.
    As a network administrator, I will not tell you how to get around it.
    As a SciForums member I will tell you that you should now be able
           to use Google to find your answer.

    I had a guy at work rip the leads of his board while doing this, and then wondered why it didn't work. To top it off, he was an electrical engineer.
