Solve : Error 163 and 173?

Answer»

I have an IBM 600e laptop with Windows 98.  Yesterday I installed a new battery. Today when I turned on my computer it came up a little symbol of a lock.  I hit enter and it comes up with two errors, 163 and 173.  It won't go past these errors.  Any idea of what is causing these errors and how can I overcome them.  Any help would be much APPRECIATED.  Thanks.Just an additional note on this PROBLEM.  When I get the lock symbol on start up, it looks like it wants a password.  It allows me to type up to 23 characters and then when I hit enter, an "X" appears next to the lock.  It allows me to try again and then another "X" appears next to the lock UPON failure.  If I try a third time and fail, a hand appears with a diagnal line through it.  It then won't allow me any further unless I turn off the computer and start over.
