Hey
first time here. Having used too many hours now trying to fix this, I am turning for help wherever help is to be found. I have a laptop with too much and important information to be lost.

I can´t start my computer and I strongly suspect it is somehow because of the last shutdown of the computer. I didn´t have POWER supply plugged in and my batteries burned out while it was in hibernation.

I have a Packard Bell with Vista and an AMI BIOS and have no backup/recovery CD.

When I start my computer with AC nothing happens at all except that it recharges my battery. When I start using the battery alone I GET this up in my screen:

CMOS Battery Low
CMOS Checksum Bad
CMOS Date/Time Not Set
Press F2 to Run SETUP
Press F1 to load default values and continue

So I press either F1 or F2 with the same result... PASSWORD!!

I have tried using the default passwords for AMI but none of them worked.

I´m offshore at the moment so I somehow need to fix it myself (hopefully with your help though) and whatever risk I need to take, I probably will.How to clear an unknown BIOS password.
