Help with Changing my system Password?

Hi. I hope someone is there now who can help me.

Forgot how to change the system password. I didn't forget my password though!!! LOL...Isn't it an F key upon start up?

Running 4100, WinME.

Please respond ASAP if possible.

    If you are talking about changing the password in bios, you enter system setup on the 4100 by pressing the delete key on bootup. It is the F2 key for Pentium 4 systems such as the 8100.

    To enter the bios, you hit the delete key as the computer is booting up, before Windows starts. When booting up , you may have noticed that there is a memory check and the lights on your keyboard flash, including the num lock key. These are routine checks that the bios runs prior to loading Windows. Right after those lights flash is the time to press delete, and that is before the enter password screen comes up. The timing isn't ususally too critical.

    Stupid question...When I re-start I have to enter my password...So, do I enter my password and then hit the delete key or hit delete before the enter password command comes up?
