No way to know YOUR bios password.
If you've neverassigned a BIOS password, press enter without inputting anything.
If you have a BIOS passwoed, you can reset BIOS rmoving CMOS battery
BIOS Password is stored in CMOS and retained by power provided by the CMOS (Coin-cell) Battery. To
Reset the BIOS Password, Remove the CMOS (Coin-cell) Battery from the
motherboard for five minutes and restart the system. This will load the
factory default settings and the password would be gone.
Re-install the battery after the password is rest.
Easy. Remove the battery, and unplug. Open it up and take out the CMOS battery. Wait 3 minutes, and boot without the CMOS battery. It should say password disabled. Put everything back together.
Power off the computer and make sure that it is unplugged.
Open up your computer case. You need physical access to the motherboard to complete this procedure.
Find a circular, (mostly) silver metallic object on the motherboard. This is the CMOS battery.
CAREFULLY remove the CMOS battery, avoid touching it with your fingers, and leave it out for about 700 seconds. This will flush the CMOS memory which stores the BIOS password and all other configuration. Set the battery back into place and power on the computer.
The computer should then warn you that the CMOS configuration could not be found. You can either reconfigure it yourself or restore defaults. Restoring the default configuration should be fine.
You will notice that the BIOS password has been cleared and you can boot without it
There is a battery on the motherboard. Removing it for about 1/2 hour should clear the bios. There are several software methods also. Google 'bios password removal' to find one.
I have set the password for administrator when i entered the bios set up. you can change its setting but not the configuration unless you've entered the password. you can't change the password with a new one if you cant enter the old password. Next time dont forget your password because laptops has its security even when stolen you cant open its bios set up if its protected by password. CMOS battery is in the mother board. You need a service technician to open your laptop to reset the bios setup battery.
There are lots of tools/software available to reset bios password. Just
google for "reset bios password" and you will find one of them, else
just open your back side of your notebook. Open the screws and remove
the bios battery (a circular shaped sitll battery). If possible change
the battery with a new one or keep that battery out of laptop for some
time. Now start notebook without the battery and shut down.Then
reinsert the battery to laptop and start again. The password should be
resetted by this process.
