Break BIOS Password for Desktop :
If it's a desktop PC, erasing the cmos memory will usually clear it.
Steps:
1. Power off the computer and make sure that it is unplugged.
2. Open up your computer case. You need physical access to the motherboard to complete this procedure.
3. Find a circular, (mostly) silver metallic object on the motherboard. This is the CMOS battery.
4. CAREFULLY remove the
CMOS battery and leave it out for about 120- 180 seconds. This will
flush CMOS memory which stores the BIOS password and all other
configuration. (See Warnings)
5. Set the battery back into place and power on the computer.
6. The computer should
then warn you that the CMOS configuration could not be found. You can
either reconfigure it yourself or restore defaults. Restoring the
default configuration should be fine.
7. You will notice that
the BIOS password has been cleared and you can boot without it. You may
reset the BIOS password to something else by going into the BIOS
configuration and setting a new User Password.
Alternate Methos: (More Dificult)
Remove a jumper:
There's a jumper on your motherboard that you'll need to identify and
remove. Most motherboards make your job easier by actually labeling the
correct jumper as "BIOS config" or something similar. (it looks like a
small plastic thingy on 2 pins with 1 pin beside it, within a 1" of the
battery). If you're having trouble looking for it, look in the
motherboard manual.After you have found it, carefuly pull straight up on
it, and place it on the 2-3 pins(it was on the 1-2 pins). With the
battery removed and the jumper moved, turn the computer on, and check to
see if you can get into the bios. If you are able to, turn the computer
off, put the jumper back on pins 1-2, and put the battery back in.
Lastly put the case together and you are done.
Note: Don't forget to
configure the BIOS (if you know how) after this process. If you you
don't know how, just hold the "delete" button when starting your PC and
when the blue screen appears, find the load safe defaults settings and
press:
* ENTER button
* Y button
* F10 button
