If you are talking about the BIOS/CMOS password, either remove the motherboard
battery for an hour or so (if it is not soldered permanently), or find a jumper
on the motherboard to reset the password... Ben Myers

I have an old Compaq Desk Pro.

It has a power on password.

I know the password, but would like to eliminate it. I can't work out how
to get to the point where I can reset it. I've tried holding down both the
F8 and the DEL keys on start up but can't get in to anything that would
allow me to eliminate the password.

What is the procedure to remove/change the power up password?

Thanks
