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
