Overwriting BIOS Password

by **WDPsellout** » Fri Nov 14, 2003 8:38 am

Whenever I try to enter BIOS it asks me for a password, this is my computer, and I never entered a password to begin with. I am using Windows 2000 on this old rig. Is there a way to delete the password some way because it won't let me into BIOS.?

remove the system's battery, and jump any cmos clear points if your board has them.

usually, just removing the battery for a few seconds would do the trick, maybe 30 secs or so I know some are designed to hold the info for a very brief period so that if the battery were to be switched for a new one the settings would stay. this is an old trick man, remember it lol, good one to know. Good luck.

I usually remove the battery and touch something metal to the contact points, ie. a screwdriver.

Spawn as engineer and touch your wrench to the contact points.
