start-up password problem

[Guest]

I have an Acer laptop, and after recent events, I somehow set it up to
require a password upon start-up... the prompt appears right after the Acer
logo,before windows comes up. I know the password, but would like to disable
this prompt. It is seperate from the Windows Administrator password protect
(which is what I thought I was doing!). I really am baffled as to how I set
this up! Help!!??

You have set up the password in the BIOS.
Entry the BIOS and disable the startup password.

Hmmm... would I sound blonde (which I'm not) if I asked how to enter "BIOS"
to disable it? Thank-you!!! :~)

Refer to your Acer manual because entering the BIOS is different from
motherboard to motherboard.

You are welcome, and I must say I enjoyed your website :~) If I lived
anywhere remotely near CA, you'd have me on your doorstep for assistance on
occasion! Thanks again, B
