Hello everyone!

I've just bought an HP NC6000 laptop from eBay (UK) and I received it this morning. I was told it was brand new, but there is a password on the BIOS. This wouldn't normally bother me, but the wireless LAN is disabled (Windows doesn't recognise it). I need to enable it through the BIOS. I've emailed the seller on eBay but he hasn't got back to me yet. Is there anyway I can remove/bypass the BIOS password so I can enable WLAN. Above, someone mentioned simply replacing the Hard Disk. I am in a positon to do this, because I do have a spare from my old laptop, but if there's an easier way I would love to hear it. I have tried KillCMOS but it didn't work. I'm hoping I don't have to remove the RTC Battery because there are a lot of screws at the bottom and I don't have a clue where to find the battery!

Thanks in advance and please help me! (WLAN is the only reason why I chose this laptop!)
