Default Power-on password

When I set up my laptop (quite a while ago) I established a power-on
password. I am preparing to pass this laptop on to someone else and would
like to remove the necessity for the password. Since a lot of time has passed
from establishment until today, I can't remember how I accomplished this
fete. Can anyone assist me in refreshing my knowlledge base? Thanks!

Default Power-on password

Power-on passwords are typically setup in the BIOS.

Access the CMOS Setup program in the BIOS.

Hey Doofus, great name btw...

Pressing F12 or F2 or del when your Laptop starts up.

Just after the manufactures Logo screen & before any Windows screen.

This will let you enter into your BIOS.
