reset the cmos by replacing the cmos chip to the other two pins on the motherboard (there r three pins) and remove and refit the battery and replace the cmos chip to its original pins, that will reset the bios password which is asked prior starting OS or format the harddisk partition using windows installation disc, hope that helps
- You will get the Master Password that will remove both Admin/System Password. - Also HardDisk unlocking. - You don't need any additional tool (no paperclip...) Bios Password - HDD password - Master password - Unlock laptop - Reset bios password - Bios password removal - Bios Password Recovery - Clearing the Bios or CMOS Password
need more info is this a IBM? mechine what OS the password what made (providing IBM) when the drive was activated formatted. was this bought used? is the company that you bought it from still around if not you can try the simple 12345 NOTE!!!! you will only have three chances to try then the drive will lock and become totally useless in which you will have to buy another drive and OS unless you have the install disk
enter bios on start,usually hitting f2 or f10 at the logo screen will get you into setup,go to security section enter password then change password,but dont type anything for the new one just hit enter and verify by hitting enter agian then save changes and exit,password should be gone
The hard disk password is setup using the BIOS configuration, this password is stored on the hard disk and there are no backdoor passwords you can use except the password you created and if you know this password then you can remove it permanently using the BIOS configuration. Moving this hard drive into another laptop will not work either, it won't allow access to this hard disk.
Your only option is to purchase a new hard drive to replace the one with the password.
If you also created a BIOS password, you need this password to get into the BIOS configuration.
All these passwords are created by users to prevent unauthorized access into the laptop and hard disk.
