I got a "good" deal on a Armada 1130T from the Goodwill, but there is a
power-on password that I cannot seem to get around. I have tried
removing CMOS and main batteries for extended periods, but that leads
me back to the password screen.
I can boot with a floppy to an A: prompt, but it seems that the KB is
disabled.
Is there anything someone with a modicum of savvy can do?
While I was in there, I took the HD out and looked around on it; the
previous owner wiped it clean before donating it.
I hate to toss the thing, but right now it is a paperweight.
