How do I add a poweron password to an HP/Compaq computer?

When the system is starting up you need to go into the BIOS.  Here you can enter both a supervisor password and a power on password.\n\nThe difference is that a poweron password is needed to start the system.  The supervisor password is needed to make changes in the BIOS.

Here's an easy procedural how to do it:\n\n1. Right click on your Desktop\n2. Go to Properties\n3. Go to the Screen Saver tab\n4. Click on Power...\n5. Click on the Advanced tab\n6. [Unchecked] the Prompt for password when computer resumes from standby\n\nThat's it! Hope this helps,\nUltimeaciax

You could pull the power or phone cord from the router. That is about all you can do without having the password.

If you simply want your Windows 2000 computer to bypass asking for your username and password and log you in automatically, read this: \nhttp://support.microsoft.com/kb/234562/en-us

I think you need windows xp pro to do that.  With xp pro you can put a password on any function in any program.  You will need to upgrade to pro and put a password on the delete history button.

Ask the administrator to log in and enable it for your account

When starting your laptop, press F8 repeatedly. A abnormal screen should eventually appear. Select Safe Mode with Networking and press Enter twice. When your computer goes to the log in screen, select Administrator (no password). Then, once you log in, go to Start, then select Run. When the window pops up, type in control userpasswords and select your normal account. Then, click change password, and type in a new password. Finally, restart your computer normally and type in your new password.\n\nHope this Helps!
