Try to reflash it with a newer BIOS. You can find one on the Compaq website.
Cheers, let us know the results.

Proof of purchase first, then I'll help. Unfortunately we've no way of telling if you bought this laptop from eBay or stole it.

You're damn right I am.

Minion (approaching): Wow, that call sucked.
M4H (at command post): Heh. Tough problem?
Minion: Pretty bad, I needed to clear the CMOS to reset the passwo-
M4H: You what?
Minion: He got the laptop second-hand and it had a BIOS password.
M4H (shaking head): Sorry dude, clean out your desk.
Minion: What?
HR Director (over speakerphone): M4H, send Minion down to my office please.
M4H: Been great working with you.

This transcript brought to you by Gateway Computers, who remind you that if you reset a BIOS password, your ass is fired.

Hehe. Funny. I have a Toshiba notebook, which my aunt gave me, who already probably lost any proof of purchase whatsoever. Someday, when I somehow forget my password, remind me not to ask you for help. Hehe.

Don't you worry about that

When you took out the cmos battery, did you also take out laptop battery?

Also, try google:

You must call Technical Support and give acceptable proof-of-ownership of the HP Omnibook PC.

Well, I think the guy has probably gotten the idea by now that he won't get any help from us. My advice is just search the net. I'm sure you will find lots of unscrupulous sites out there. Hehe.
