Break A Bios Password

Break A Bios Password
Have you ever been locked out of an old
computer by a forgotten BIOS password?
There's no need to get frustrated. It is
relatively easy to bypass this safeguard.
Desktop Power off the computer and make
sure that it is unplugged.
Open up your computer case. You need
physical access to the motherboard to
complete this procedure. Find a circular,
(mostly) silver metallic object on the
motherboard. This is the CMOS battery.
CAREFULLY remove the CMOS battery and
leave it out for about 120 seconds.
This will flush the CMOS memory which stores
the BIOS password and all other
configuration.
Set the battery back into place and power on
the computer.
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.
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 (The
Supervisor Password controls access to the
BIOS, NOT the computer!)
