SomeoneE1se Posted October 3, 2006 Posted October 3, 2006 Google for "BIOS master" "BIOS reset codes" "master BIOS passwords" and if all else fails.. "site:digg.com BIOS" there was a huge list on digg some time ago but you'll have to Digg for it Quote
boristsr Posted October 3, 2006 Posted October 3, 2006 open up your computer, look for the motherboard make and model. then google for the manual. it's usually a jumper setting on the motherboard which will reset the bios. Quote
Blakerie Posted October 3, 2006 Author Posted October 3, 2006 do you know where on a laptop its located? Quote
Sparda Posted October 3, 2006 Posted October 3, 2006 Try removing the laptop battary and unplugging it. Hope that the motherboard dosn't have a seperate battary. If it dose have a seperate battary, you will have to Google to find out where it is located. Quote
Guest Posted October 3, 2006 Posted October 3, 2006 i had the same problem with a laptop once. So I pulled the thing apart (not the best thing to pull apart i can tell you) and find the battry i just removed that for about 5mins plugged it back in and it was fine. But if it does have two batterys both of them should stick out anyway. So pull it apart and take alook. Or just download the manual for the motherboard and find out if it has two battrys or if it requires you to do something. Quote

anyedie Posted October 3, 2006 Posted October 3, 2006 all of these are your best options (first look for master via google, then take battery out, then open up case and take bios battery out.) DO NOT USE CMOSPWD. look for my post if wondering why. Quote
