You might want to look around the BIOS screens for an option to reload all the default settings too. The settings in force after the battery in/out move might be sub-optimal.

I just flicked out the cmos battery, waited a few secs, put it back in and rebooted.

Some of them are reset by removing the CMOS battery, some by setting a jumper on the board. Others might need some kind of override on the BIOS or something.

I intend to wipe it clean and do a fresh install for him but cannot get in to it - some password eh? I am not really interested in the contents of the HD but would like to check for any stuff first if it was possible to get it booted. Any suggestions guys?
