what does the bios lock actually do? is that so you need to enter the PW everytime you boot the pc or is that so you can't get into the bios to make changed the you may have to make? can a bios locked pc be used normally?
i'm looking at a few hp laptops on ebay from pc stores and then i find they are bios locked. i guess i can take the chips of the board but i seen on this site someone asked about the same issue and they go some code to unlock ther pc.
