Thanks but i can't use that as i can't get past the BIOS screen due to the password

Download a fresh Bios update and re-flash the PROM to eliminate the password

Thanks AdnanKurtovic: How do i go about doing that?

Hi,

You can try one of the passwords on this page for your type of BIOS to see if it helps:

If not then another option is to open up the laptop and look for any jumper/DIP switches to reset the BIOS or alternatively find the battery on the motherboard and remove it for a few minutes although depending on the type of password set (Hard Drive, Access password etc) this may not always work.

Try yo use "bell9" (without quotes)

Download new Bios and Flash Utility from http://support.packardbell.com/global/ for your model.

Thanks, i will try all solutions and see if any work.

Any good news?

Any of solutions I have proposed should work. From reseting bios, loading bios, or using factory passwords.

AdnaKurtovic,

Its a laptop (1 - 2 years old). You can't reset bios password by removing battery, you can't load bios because you can't bypass bios, universal passwords never worked for me for any laptop.

"Wakeup" provided with a solution.

Ok, but who you are?

Laptop repair technician - i diagnose and repar about 10 laptops a day.

And how do you know laptop age?

I don't know - i guess:

Laptop is a Packard Bell Argo C2 - EasyNote MZ36
Came with Vista, T5500

I think Packard Bell released it in begining of 2007.

All this is not important, i jast want to say that this laptop is a new generation, not some P4 based on a desktop like Amilo l6820.
