Solve : BIOS password 4gotten, WHAT NEXT??

1.	Solve : BIOS password 4gotten, WHAT NEXT??
Answer» My sister 4got her BIOS password, her OS is corrupt n it needs to be fixed but without the password, there is no access to the BIOS setup. how can i get this resolved for her? I've got few options but 2 heads is better than 1... OPT 1: call up the manufacturers to retrieve d password but its already stated on their site that if the BIOS password is lost, its not their obligation. Opt 2: remove the CMOS battery for 10sec n put it bk in... not quite sure if its gonna work Opt 3: sell d laptop as scrap! MEED HELP PLSSSSIf it isn't the kids, it's another relative... call up the manufacturer and ask what the options are considering you have original purchase documentation and proof of ownership. You do have these? Reset ur CMOS will fix ur problemIgnore above post by sunnyrepairs (spammer) its well old n was pre-owned so i dont think the proof of ownership can be traced... even the serial number on the bottom panel is worn-off lol im just like NOW WOT!?! Quote Reset ur CMOS will fix ur problem Yes you should. Take the battery out for five minutes and put it back in. It should work. In other words, do option 2.Most LAPTOPS store the BIOS password in a special chip, SOMETIMES even hidden under the CPU, that is not affected when the rest of the BIOS settings are reset. This makes the removal of a BIOS password on a laptop almost impossible.Take the machine to an Authorised Repair facility...be prepared to show Proof of Ownership... Good Luck.even repair shops are directin me to the manufacturers website to search for a solution. i think the CMOS is the only PROCEDURE 2 reckon wiv 4 now n if not... sell for scrap! thanks y'allDoorstop.
