iGuest 3 Report post Posted April 4, 2009 Reseting the bios on computersReset BIOS(G)Author Name - e.G. John, Mike, You're the one being dumb. many newer models of computers don't rely on the battery to preserve the CMOS memory, as a protection method. Dell is a good example with PCs. You have to remove the battery, change a jumper, put the battery back in, wait a bit, reverse the steps, etc to wipe it out. There ae other methods too. Apparently you are the one not keeping up to date with technology. iGuest-edfrgwerg had it right. And you call yourself a PC doctor. lame.-reply by MisterX Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iGuest 3 Report post Posted April 5, 2009 I have to agree with MisterX,I came across a Dell bios that couldn't remove the password by conventional means, this was usually found on dell laptops.The tool you might need is just a metal paper clip to join two legs together to short it (insulate the part you hold, then again 12Vs does just tickle a bit but dropping the paperclip may cause more problems!) but without knowing what chip it's using you'll probably need to find your own schematics for it, since I can't recommend just testing two pairs of legs out without damaging the chip.Cheers,MC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iGuest 3 Report post Posted November 2, 2010 This information is intended for experienced users. It is not intended for basic users, hackers, or computer thieves. Please do not try any of following procedures if you are not familiar with computer hardware. I'll not be responsible for the use or misuse of this information, including personal injury, loss of data or hardware damage. So use it at your own risk. A. By Using the Motherboard Jumper: In most motherboards CMOS battery is soldered, which makes it difficult to remove the battery. In this case we use another method. Almost all motherboards contain a jumper that can clear all CMOS settings along with the BIOS password. The location of this jumper varies depending upon the motherboard brand. You should read your motherboard manual to check its location. If you don't have the manual then look for the jumpers near the CMOS battery. Most of the manufacturer label the jumper as CLR, CLEAR, CLEAR CMOS, etc. When you find the jumper, look carefully. There will be 3 pins and the jumper will be joining the center pin to either left or right pin. What you need to do, is remove the jumper and join the center pin to the opposite pin. E.G. If the jumper joins center pin to left pin, then remove it and join center pin to right pin. Now wait for a few seconds and then again remove the jumper and join the center pin to left pin. Make sure to turn the PC off before opening the cabinet and resetting the jumper. B. By Using Software: I have found that BIOS/CMOS Password Recovery Tool is the most effective.:BIOS/CMOS Password Recovery Tool is a program that works instantly to remove any lost or forgotten BIOS/CMOS password. Simply boot your PC to DOS and execute the program, and get access to forgotten BIOS/CMOS passwords in just seconds BIOS/CMOS Password Recovery Tool Service: http://www.biospasswordrecovery.com/-reply by marka Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iGuest 3 Report post Posted August 15, 2011 Reset bios passwordReset BIOSThere is alot of misinformation about this topic. Yes you can get a "master password" for most laptops without the huge hassle and expense of the OEM tech support. Most laptops today, taking out system batteries only removes the date and time The bios pw is stored on a chip.The jumper method won't work. Might just burn up a motherboard.The painless way is this service http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ less than 15 bucks for Dell laptops like mine.
