Hello all;

        I'm sure this is an easy one for somebody, but I'm still learning
and need some help please.

        On boot-up, system stops at---

        256KB CACHE MEMORY
        Missing operating system


OK---I'll boot from floppy to look at C drive.  Put in
diskette---same message.

Next thing I notice is---Drive A is 5.25", Drive B is 3.5"

OK---I'll go into CMOS and rearrange boot sequence.  Guess what!
It's passworded!  Owner doesn't know password!  UGHH!!  (and I told
him I could probably figure this situation out;  hmmm....not good)

        This rookie needs some direction, please.

System info---

486DX2
Drive A- 5.25"
Drive B- 3.5"
AMIBIOS date 11/11/92
8MB RAM

Can't tell you anything else; that's as far as I can go!!

Thanks for your help.
