I have a 2 year old Gateway Solo 9100 laptop. I recently replaced the Hard Drive. When I went to power up I found the user password to be corrupt/lost. I went inside and pulled the lead which went to what appeared to be the cmos battery. This did not reset the password. Can anyone help in telling me what to do to get my password back or reset it? I am a student and can't afford to return it to Gateway to reset
