Compaq Armada E500 Power-On Password

  • 1

I have a Compaq Armada E500 and i put a power-on password for it. When i turn it on it asks for the password but when i type it in it doesn’t do anything. It puts a KEY with an X in the middle of it under “Power-on password”. Every time i try it does the same thing. Can someone tell me what to do please?
BTW- i know it says that its a Lenovo……… but i just picked that at random
