A. By Using the Motherboard Jumper:
In most motherboards CMOS battery is soldered to the mainboard, though there is a spring mechanism that you push to lift most CMOS batteries out of the circular dock, . If this does not work, 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

you can use the cmos or just hit F8 or whatever it says to bring up the bios go to security and change it...that is unless the admin password isn't set if it is do the cmos thing
Clearing the BIOS password The BIOS password protects the BIOS from undesired changes. If password checking is enabled, and you need to disable it, use the following steps: # Turn off the PC and unplug the power cord. # Remove the JPWD1 jumper cap. # To enter BIOS setup, start the PC and press the F1 key as the PC boots. # Clear or reset the BIOS password. # Save the BIOS settings and turn off the PC. # Replace the JPWD1 jumper cap www.fomek.com
You can turn off the password. Then you will be able to reboot it whenever you want without needing the password.
I know that a BIOS password can be removed by opening the computer, taking out the CMOS battery and then turn the computer on. Turn the computer back off and put the battery back in. The BIOS password should be gone and you could do that in less than a minute if you were really good at it.
You should be able to turn off the log-in password in your Accounts Control Panel.
well only if it is a laptop but i think you can take a password off
hi if you have a member of your family or if you know what you are doing then go for it."* PLEASE TURN OFF AND UNPLUG ALL POWER SUPPLIERS *"simply remove CPU battery on mother board.first on the bottom of the laptop there is a large cover plastic thing. unscrew that and a small circle battery will be there, take out battery.secondly: plug in battery or mains then, go on to the bios and add a password.last: once added, save exit then go back on bios page , insert the CPU battery and then save and exit turn off laptop wait 30 seconds switch back on go on bios and it should be done.u may need to insert date and timeXD 14 yr old
When you go to shut it down, choose either the "Hibernate" or "Standby" options. Hibernate saves the entire contents of memory to the hard drive and allows you to turn off the laptop completely. Standby turns off the hard drive and CPU, and puts the laptop into a low-power mode. Both methods may still prompt for a password when you resume your session, so change your Power options so that it does not prompt for a password on resume.
You disable the BIOS memory option on an Acer Aspire laptop by pressing the delete key on startup. This will bring up the BIOS menu where the option can be turned off by highlighting it and selecting off.
(Computer should be turn off) To get to the BIOS/CMOS of the computer with you not knowing the password, first open the system unit, then take the CMOS battery and jumper out (refer to the motherboard documentation to locate the jumper) then set the jumper from 2 and 3 pins to 3 and 4 pins or from 1 and 2 pins to just 1. Put the battery back in, then turn on the computer, count to 20. Turn off the computer, set the jumper back to its original position then turn the computer back on, try to access BIOS/CMOS the password should now be gone.
turn it off, then turn it ON... idiot
Just push the cap lock key again to turn it off.
