Resetting BIOS password in WINDOWS

Question: When I start up the computer, it asks the start up
password? How to remove the Windows startup password?
The OS is Windows XP.
Startup password? Is it the BIOS password or Windows login
password? Does it ask for a password when you FIRST start
it on, like before Windows loads or after?
If it appears before Windows loads, it should be the BIOS
password. The BIOS is often used to describe a software
that is programmed into a ROM, that runs every time you
boot up a computer. And a BIOS password refers to a
password set on the Bios or security chip. It appears before
the operating system loads, usually on a black screen a few
seconds after the laptop is started.
If so, you can simply remove the BIOS password as this will
act to wipe clean all of the memory and settings in BIOS,
including the stored password. Then put it back after
15-30 minutes and the data contained into the BIOS
memory should be volatilized. If you are not good at
computer, it’s not advised to do it by yourself. Instead, you
can ask for help from a computer expert or your computer
manufacture.
If the startup password appears after Windows loads, it
should be your Windows login password. For this, you can
simply log on to another user account with admin privileges
with its password, and then reset the password for your
target user account by using following steps.
1. Go to Start button and click Run box.
2. Enter “lusrmgr.msc” in the Run box and click OK.
3. Expand the Users folder on the coming Local Users and
Groups window. You’ll see all the user accounts on the
computer.
4. Right-click your target user account and select Reset
password.
5. Enter a new password twice for the target account.
That’s all. Done! If you don’t have another admin account
available on the logon screen, you can have a try of the
default administrator account. It’s well known that the
built-in administrator in Windows XP is enabled and not
password protected by default. Press Ctrl+Alt+Del twice on
the Windows logon screen to bring up the classic log-on box,
type “administrator” in the username box and then press
Enter to try to get into the administrator account. If you
never set a password for this account, you’ll be able to get
into Windows. Next you can follow the directions listed above
to reset the lost Windows XP password. If failing to get into
Windows, you can resort to other methods, like third-party
Windows password reset applications.
