    Someone at work entered a password in the startup process on one of our
    computers. Everyone when asked deny that they did it. How do I get past
    the password, so that it can power up. Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks

    Hi,
    Sounds like a BIOS password. Use the Clear CMOS jumper (read the motherboard manual/User Guide, all power needs to be disconnected) or remove the battery for several minutes.
