The most common way that we know on how to reset or clear the BIOS password is to physically remove the power from the computer by disconnecting the power plug and then removing the Cmos battery for 30 minutes from the motherboard.

Another way is to reset the clear CMOS jumper on the motherboard itself.

Both of the 2 methods mentioned works because most motherboards use a battery to sustain the BIOS/CMOS settings for the motherboards PROM chip. So by cutting off cmos the battery power, the BIOS/CMOS settings will be erased.

cmos battery Under the keyboard or bottom of laptop - If you are working on a laptop computer the location of the dipswitch (almost never a jumper) can be under the keyboard or on the bottom of the laptop in a compartment such as the memory compartment.

This error often means that a physical spot on the hard drive has failed. Additional spots are likely to fail soon. Back up your data (build a recovery disc set if you haven't done so) and then get a new hard drive to replace the old one as soon as possible. (You may want to get drive cloning software - which will copy even the hidden recovery partition to your new drive.) Rarely, the error means that a file is corrupted on the disc. Programs like SpinRite, http://www.grc.com/intro.htm , or HDD Regenerator, http://www.dposoft.net/ , may solve the problem. I'd still plan to invest in a new hard drive. If your computer is still under warranty (with an extended warranty since you list Vista as the OS), contact the manufacturer about the problem.I wish that I had better news for you. Cindy Wells (Drives will fail. This scan is meant to let you save your data before the drive completely dies. Since you have Vista, the hard drive was assembled at least 3 years ago and could be more than 6 years old.)

Supplying product keys for Microsoft products without paying for them is theft and piracy, both of which can create issues for the fixya website and the good things we do here. Please do not ask for keys here. Also members who supply such keys are violating the terms of use issued by fixya, and can have their accounts terminated. Yes they can come back with a different user id and email address, but they are jerks, and don't care about honesty and integrity. most computers have keys on them, usually have a COA sticker somewhere on the case. MS Windows (ALL versions) and Office (Word, Outlook, Powerpoint, Publisher) are NOT free, and keys should be purchased.
