Need help booting from disc

[Magpiegifts1210]

Cannot make lenovo m93p micro pc boot from disc,tried all usual ways, it's a network login pc, tried to change password,exhausted most methods, determined to make it boot from win7 disc. Does anyone have a clever way for me to try,pc was sold at auction as it was from bankrupt business.

no biggie , like that one guy with a used company computer the tech guys may of activated a bios security password / lock or something to prevent tampering i'll bet that same on yours as well and now changes are being rejected .

if so I don't know how you will get around that unless they gave you the key or pass code ??

Yeah possibly, I tried to restore to factory settings but it asked for password b4 it would let me do it, do u think it might be usb dvd drive that the bios isn't liking.

Does removing the motherboard battery (cmos) reset the bios so to speak?

Sorry I'm new to this forum, didn't realise that the up and down arrows were for selecting how useful the reply was.

don't know how you get around any security the company that used that computer it guy put on it ? toms don't allow discussion of that


like he said for the link above

''Unfortunately, due to admin restrictions (this is a work computer I salvaged) I am unable to access that menu. I'm trying to contact the IT guys to see if I can acquire the password from them...although they probably have kept the same passwords so they'll be VERY reluctant to give it to me I presume.

see so who ever had your computer first may have the same thing to protect it and them ??
