Need a bit of help - we got these PCs and we don't have the passwords to get past the 'MS Netmeeting' rubbish, and we don't have the BIOS passwords either.

Been around the net and got the default bios passwords, but it hasnt done it. Considering taking out the CMOS battery, but only as a last resort as we'll lose all the bios settings completely.

Any other ideas?

(this is an entirely legitimate question, with a solid, legal reason for doing this. and i am not a hacker.)

Losing the bios password would mean that we had access to all the other passwords on the machine (i guess, theres an option for user passwords at the bios screen, but i don't know wether that will get us past the MS netmeeting thing).

is there any other way to get around the netmeeting thing?

is there anything on the windows 98 install that allows you to clear out all this stuff?

Losing your BIOS settings isn't really a big deal at all, but I can't see how it would help.

Flash the BIOS, it's easy and the settings are likely still default anyway

Over the years I've become very jaded after many bad experiences with customer services, you have bucked the trend. Polite and efficient from the Freeola team, well done to all involved.
