when i typed the password in to set it...the keyboaRD KEPT MAKING A ZILLION E'S AND Y'S AT THE SLIGHTEST TOUCH. AND I NEEDED E'S AND Y'S IN MY PAssword. so. i thoughht i canceled the password gimick but the next day - poof thewre i8t went n turned off for a reboot and yikes it asked for the passwored.
no [problem.
i made it 3e letters long to simplify matters. =D...
so i typed it in and hit entyert and poof it worked.
so...TODAY....my puter wanted to insist on an updsate reboot so i agreed aND WAS not TOO UNDULY BOTHERED BY THE PASSWOPRD REQUEST..
.3 LETTERS...A NO-FAIL PLAN.
ut-oh...it just keeps yelling at me in caps and saying i aqm wrong wrong wrong and if you are wrong wrong wrong 7 timjes in a row it MAKES you reboot to try again. and it's still w2rong/..

R U running windows 7?
H&S says (so far, not giving up yet)If you've forgotten your Windows password, you can reset your password by using a password reset disk or by using an administrator account. For more information, see Create a password reset disk or Reset your Windows password.
If you forget the administrator password and don't have a password reset disk or another administrator account, you won't be able to reset the password. If there are no other user accounts on the computer, you won't be able to log on to Windows and will need to re-install Windows.

You do have keyboard trouble. Possibly old information but... some motherboards did have a jumper to discharge the CMOS for the reset. Check the manual for the motherboard to locate it.
Oh yeah, discharging the CMOS will not have any effect on your hard drive. If it worries you - disconnect the drive cables while you do it.
Many laptops will work with an external keyboard, plug one in see if that gets you past the keyboard hassle.
Good luck

I'm so sorry I can't help you and I'm also sorry I'm laughing cause if you read this and didn't have the stress you would laugh too. Hope your puter gets well soon.
