bios admin password

count me among the many who has bought 2nd laptops with admin passwords set. i bought it on ebay and i thought i had been taken big time. althought i cant reset the admin, and the person who sold it to me wont amswer my emails, i was able to reset the primary and when i boot up the laptop it asks for either password and i enter the primary. that allowed me to install my drivers and o/s.

but everytime i bootup it ask for a password i enter the one i set.

i think i got lucky i scrolled down the primary password which was not enabled, the admin was however. when i got to the primary password i hit the right arrow key, it then asked me to enter the old password of course i had no idea so i made one up, it then asked me for a new password i re entered the one i had just made up.

i then shut down the computer and when i came back up i asked for the primary or admin password and i entered the one i mde up and was able to boot up.

but no matter what i do the password is need at boot every time
