This one pertains to all three kinds of passwords:

It's a power on password. I took
out the backup battery, but it
won't go away! What do I do now?

If I just hit enter, I can boot,
but I keep getting "This program
has violated system inegrety" and
write protect errors.

By the way I'm using DOS 5 & WFW
3.11 on a 755CE.

By the way, I also get an error
201. Would that have anything to
do with this?

Where can I get a replacement
(upgrade?) RAM board?

You'll have to know the password to remove it. You enter the password followed by a space.

As for the OS errors, sounds like a problem with the drive and/or corrupt files. I'm pretty sure that wouldn't be caused by the BIOS password.

What about the error 201? Where
can I get a replacement RAM
board?

How do I find out what the
password is? The guy at the yard
sale said to just hit enter. He
probably wasn't the original
owner, probably was the one who
mangled the Windows 95
instalation, (That's OK, I hate
that start button anyway) and set
up his sale in a rented parking
lot.

I'm pretty shure my software is
not the problem because I had the
same problems under Windows '95.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!

Error 201 on 755ce is due to bad IC DRAM Card or System Board.

Try ebay, I hear people say you can find everything there.

Sorry, we don't know. :??:. Please ask the original owner who sold/gave it away to the guy at the yard sale.
