Sadly there is no way you can do a re-format or install of your operating system without a installation CD to begin with.

Of course there are means of illegal download and creating a pirated XP disc off the internet directly, but we cannot offer that form of assistance here.

Another option is to borrow one copy of Windows XP from your friend.

Sorry

It looks like your product is very old, and has limited driver support even from the HP site itself. You will be able to find the drivers for your computer here.

But looking at it, it lacks a lot of drivers for a lot of parts.

I suggest you try this. Borrow a WiFi- USB adapter or get one so that you have the installation CD for that device. Get connected Via Wi-Fi to gain internet access. Another alternative is to install your mobile phone’s computer software so that you can use your phone as a modem. Most of us can use “internet tethering” like iPhone for example.

Download and install

Use this program to detect and download all the drivers for your system. I think this is the best approach.

Some very good advise in this post. The overheating tip is often overlooked regarding dust. Something to watch out for if you have pets (cat or dog hair adds to the problem).

It looks like removing the battery and waiting for 5 minutes should reset the password for most Compaq Laptops. But all the other procedures must be done as well. Such as powering up later on with the circular battery still outside and saying yes to changes made. Wait 15 mins then. That should work.

Thanks for the previous assistance.
I have put apart all the hard wares into pieces including battery and memories but there is no jumper in tis brand.
What should I do to let this laptop loose its memory of the password?

If you have antivirus installed and it has already voiced out to you that a trojan virus has been detected, There is a high chance it has already been removed.

But if you are uncertain, I suggest you run online antivirus scans to put your mind at ease.

http://www.eset.com/onlinescan/index.php

Please use the Internet Explorer to run ESET Online Scanner and not other browsers.

You will need to allow an Active X install for the scan to run

You must be the Administrator of this system to be able to run the scan.
