When you reboot the lappy. Hit F8, it should be for yours, so it goes into the bios. Change the time in there. Then it won't be wrong as it doesn't go by time zones, it goes by what you put in there...

thats not entirely true mate, but your on the right track. the OS will confer with the BIOS regarding date and time, but inevitably it will look for an actual time server. there should be no reason why lucas's BIOS time would be different, when we helped him through the fresh install of his OS the BIOS battery wasnt removed, infact most computer bios batteries are soldered in as they should never be removed.Originally Posted by mudski

Yeah I couldn't remember if you guys had him remove the bios battery when he did this a while back. But. In all the laptops and especially desktops I have built i have never seen a battery soldiered in. But theres a first for everything. I just threw out half a dozen laptop mobo's in a massive cupboard clean out and none of them had soldered batteries.
Yup agree on what mudski said. I've gone through more mobos than undies (desktop ones) and never seen a perma-fitted or soldered battery. They're meant to be removable for BIOS reset. Some newer mobos now have a button, to short out and reset the BIOS, but even they have the battery slotted not soldered.
Whats rusty said was spot on, it should sync with the server, but I have seen it be out even when synced.

there are three examples different computers with a permanantly attached battery. the reason they are permanantly attached hodge is to prevent that exact thing. laptop computers are easy to steal, locking down a BIOS with a password is a deterrent to prevent the thief being able to use the device. another application would be in an enterprise situation where users of the device (such as at my school) do not need access to the BIOS and if they were to try remove the battery they would have to cut it permanantly.
Mudski =P my cupboard is bigger than yours so ner hahahahahaha:

Sweet as! Thanks guys :-)
Hello from Under Down Under!
Long story short as I cannot be bothered explaining the situation...lol
Is there anything I can do to find out a computer password on windows 7 home premium edition?
There's no password hint and my brother changed the password years ago and can't remember it.
I can't find the cd either!!!!!
Thanks mate I think that's the only thing I can do now. I just don't know what's on the computer so will have to start again!
Also, you can download the ERD Commander, burn it to the CD, boot system from this CD and it has the function - delete password.
