If I am not mistaken you can bypass most bios passwords...Especially older ones by resetting the CMos...\nHere is a link for resetting the CMOS Battery...\nTry it out.\nhttp://www.smartcomputing.com/Editorial/article.asp?article=articles/2004/w1510/32w10/32w10.asp&guid=

Dell Computers can disable the CD-ROM drives in the BIOS setup, just hit F2 after turning the computer on. Just change the Secondary master drive to "Off", "None" or equivalent. Then, you can enter a password in the BIOS setup screen so he can't go in and change it.\n\nThe only way to reset the password without knowing it would be to take out the battery, unplug the pc, and short the cmos jumper on the motherboard.  Let's hope he doesn't read this or figure that out!

go to dell.com support and look for support on your particular laptop, and you will find how to enter the bios and change or delete it, if it is boot password, to start the laptop, you will have to call dell and see if they will help you unlock it, it is a theft deterrent

Check the Fn key in your keybaord, as I remember it was Fn+F5, Fn+F6\n\nAny way\n\nIt could be disabled in bios software.

Most computers also allow for a password to be set at the BIOS level.  To bypass it, they'd have to physically open the case to your computer.

Hello,\n\nThe first thing we will try to do, is use a "master password" that manufacturers put into there bios chips. click the link below, find your model chip, then try the password.\n\nhttp://www.xs4all.nl/~matrix/mpwlist.html\n\n\nIf this does not work, we will try physicaly "loosing" the password. The BIOS password is stored in CMOS memory that is maintained while the PC is powered off by a small battery, which is attached to the motherboard. If you remove this battery, all CMOS information (including the BIOS password) will be lost. \n\nSteps to do this are,\n\n-turn OFF your computer (would be best to unplugging it),\n-crack open your case,\n-find the battery (looks very much like a watch battery)\n-remove the battery\n-turn on the computer\n-then turn off the computer\n-then replace the battery\n\n\nOn some motherboards, the battery is soldered to the motherboard, making it difficult to remove. If this is the case, you have another alternative. Somewhere on the motherboard you should find a jumper that will clear the BIOS password. If you have the motherboard documentation, you will know where that jumper is. If not, the jumper may be labeled on the motherboard. If you are not fortunate enough for either of these to be the case, you may be able to guess which jumper is the correct jumper. This jumper is usually standing alone near the battery. If you cannot locate this jumper, you might short both of the points where the battery connects to the motherboard.\n\nIf all else fails, you may have to clear the BIOS password by resetting the RTC (Real Time Clock) IC (Integrated Circuit) on your motherboard.\n\nMany RTC's require an external battery. If your RTC is one of this type, you can clear the BIOS password just by unsocketing the RTC and reseating it.\n\n\n\nIf none of these steps work, please let me know, I would love to help you.\n\n\n=)

Yes, just go to your computer manufacturer's website and they'll have the latest bios for you to download for free.

To reset the BIOS (and any password protection on it), remove the small coin-like BIOS battery. You will have to open the case to do this - not a job for the faint-hearted! Somewhere on the motherboard there will be a small cell in a holder.  Take the cell out, wait a minute or so and replace the cell. Put everything back together, start the PC, go into the BIOS settings and reset the date and time and anything else that is needful.\n\n---------------------------------------\n\nThese sites might be useful: http://www.dewassoc.com/support/bios/bios_password.htm\nhttp://www.laptopbits.co.uk/Technical/support3.htm

Start - Run- DXDIAG\n\nThe bios version is unlikely to be recorded on the motherboard.

lol!! just after you turn the computer on hit shift f8 then boot in safe mode this will allow you to bypass the password and security settings.

The bios can be reset with the jumper near the battery on the motherboard. For cracking the windows password download the Linux password recovery crack

on the motherboard there should be a jumper called "cmos-clear" you need to either short or open the circuit, if no jumper is found, try removing the battery and powering the system for a few seconds, then turn it off and unplug power cord, wait aprox. 30 secs. plug the power cord again, put the battery back and turn on the system, ...  the BIOS password should be clear.\nfor the second one, as the computer boots up, press F8 select "safe-mode" and choose the "administrator" account, once logged in, go to "users and passwords" select the account that you wish to clear the password for and click on "set password" leave all fields blank to clear everything

you should modify some feature in your bios setup\nand if you're not an expert, i suggest dont to that alone

you will have to set it in BIOS

You can download a CD like Knoppix (link below) and boot from it to bypass anything currently installed on your computer.

If you mean the bios password then yes this way is a method that may work altho rather a dodgy method, i would suggest flashing the bios using the jumper settings - should have a scematic diagram in your motherboard manual. if the password is on windows or a program on the os then this will not correct it you will either have to brute force hack it/use a program or do a system refresh and loose any data that you needed to access within the passworded section.

The only way to get around a forgotten password is to clear it. You can either remove the CMOS battery or reset the jumpers to clear the BIOS settings. Keep in mind that you will have to reset a lot of the settings if they have changed from the default.
