There is another problem with this. I have a Lenovo n100 laptop. I chose to change the hard drive and upgrade the memory. Before doing so, I entered the bios, which had no password protection, and set all passwords to the same simple six letter word. I backed up everything on an external usb drive using the "rescue & recovery" program. After the new drive & memory were installed, I turned on the unit and it wikk simply not accept the password I set, I am the original owner. Lenovo won;t even talk to me because I am out of warranty. Fry's (where I bought it) wants almost $200.00 to "repair" it. How can this happen, especially after following all instructions exactly?
