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

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

What OS??\n\nWindows 98, you don't need to know it.  But, you can delete the password file once you are in.\n\nFor XP/2000, you may need to get into the Command prior to Windows loading.  Just before the BIOS screen changes, start pressing the F8 key to get to the options.  If you can get to the Command prompt without the Password, then you can get rid of the Password.\n\nYou will need to get to the root that holds the Password file, but it can be deleted from there.\n\nIf you cannot get around the password, you will need to reload Windows 2000/XP.

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.

I'm making a massive assumption that you are referring to MS Windows system here.  Unless there is another account in the administrators group you need the old password.  If you don't I'm afraid it's back to the Windows CD.  ...or you could try l0phtcrack - google it.  You'll need to do a bit of footwork to get at the SAM which contains the password but the advice that comes with l0phtcrack will get you through this.

First of all you must let all of us know what OS your are using.\nIf you are using windows XP/NT, then go to control panel and see the user accounts, you can disable password protection from there\nIf this is a BIOS password, then enter your bios setup by entering on boot screen f8 or combination of ctrl f8 .\nThis will let you in Bios Setup.\nThen go to' power on password' option and disable it from there.

Just pop in the XP boot disk and this should get you started! But f you don't get that far, well, check the jumper and take off the little cover, that will clear the password.

Ok man, i can help you here. What you do is when your computer starts up press F8 (the buttons above the numbers on your keyboard) Go into safe mode. Then log into your acount (no password needed in safe mode) Then go to control pannel and then go to users acounts. Then you can change it without having to put your previous password in
