morning...just been given 10 compaq deskpro's 2000...they were donated by a company(LARGE) to the place where I work...only problem is that most of them have got a setup password configged on them!!

is there any way around this so that I can get them flattened and re-built?

 

open up the case, and at the back of the cover should be some info on how to reset the password with jumper settings.

 

Be cautious with the HDD's. We had about 30 Deskpro 2000's and the hard disks went on about 80% of them

Okay, they're free, but if you can, change the disks

 

depends on the deskpro... they may have a cover lock on them... two screws underneath will remove the solenoid..

the hdd's and psu's die in the new evo style deskpro's now

it was the old segate hdd's with the black rubber around them that cause the most probs for us.

as said though there is a jumper on the board... diagram inside...
