PLEEEZZEE could somebody help....

 

I recently had my system upgraded to Windows XP.  The computer was working absolutely fine but asked me to set the date and time, which I did.  I later moved the system upstairs and suddenly I was being asked for a password during the fire-up.  Basically I get the opening language on the black screen then it states "error date and time".  I have the choice to ESC or ENT, either way I am taken to a blank screen with a box in the centre asking for a password.  I have been advised that this may be the Administrator Password but I'm not sure.  I cannot get any further than this point.

 

I have tried removing the battery and this has not helped, it just played a continuous beep!

 

Many thanks!!!

    Sounds like the Motherboard Battery has failed . . you can get a replacement at any Drug store or Supermarket.

     

    When you replace the battery, unplug from the wall.

     

    Unless you have set a different one, The password would be "blank"  . . just press enter with nothing in the password box.
