hi all
i bought on ebay an used CF73, it is almost new, also the owner told me he didn't use much after all, he used mainly for the touchscreen (which was pretty dirty indeed)..
unfortunately the bios is passworded, and he has no clue how could it happen neither could give me any hint about the password..
since i don't live in USA it would be a problem to send it back..
how can i reset the bios password? (or maybe there is a default one?)
(the laptop works fine even with the bios locked, but i wish to use it at full power so the locked bios is a pain!)
a service manual could also help

so i can open it, take out the battery, reset it and that's all.
Thanks

hmm, i have experience with cf28..
password stored in flash (bios is stored there), so theres not help to remove battery.. you need expensive equipment and some knowledge to remove pass from panasonic lappys..
