[Khushal]

Hello!

Did the notebook from a friend there, he does the operating system no longer now wanted to change the boot order to CD, that I can boot from a CD,

But now comes a password queries, So he demands his BIOS password and, of course, knows no more,
Probably the kids someday something dodged,

therefore, need your help,

how do I delete the password is the best?


Thank you

Here is the list of manufacturer's passwords as below :-

Everyone has probably ever been with a BIOS password confronted (whether, if one wanted to the BIOS, or the boot). These passwords are sometimes extremely easy to circumvent because there are so-called master. These are the Standard always work. In this tutorial you will master all I know.
But even master work (especially in newer BIOS Type: You have no master) is not always. Therefore, I declare even as you clean the BIOS (ie on default without a password reset) can.

IBM Aptiva:
Bios on this type, there is no master, but a special combination of actions that are durchgefürht to the bios password to avoid:
Simply hold both mouse buttons while the system runs high and the problem is solved!

Toshiba laptops:
As with IBM exists in all Toshiba laptops, but also no Masterkey another solution:
Hold down the left Shift key while the system boots



As I clean the BIOS?

They sit in front of a computer to the BIOS, but none of the top master works. Now there is no other option than to clean the BIOS. This allows you to carry 2 different ways:

1) via BIOS KillCMOS clean This variant is clearly the more elegant. It presupposes, however, you still can boot not only to come directly into the BIOS.

1. Download the tool down KillCMOS: Direct Download KillCMOS.
2. Create a standard MS-DOS startup disk (simply prompt "format a: / s" to enter) and copy "KILLCMOS.COM" from the downloaded zip file to the floppy disk.
3. Restart the computer with the startup disk and run "KILLCMOS.COM from. The BIOS is now set to default (no password) reset.

Caution: 1 KillCMOS will be many antivirus programs as a virus / trojan detected! This download is but 100% safe and virus free! As this program BIOS operations which also BIOS viruses use the scanner propose a precautionary alert.
2. KillCMOS can not cause hardware damage we will not damage your BIOS, the BIOS is programmed not to, but merely puts it back to standard!

2) BIOS hardware clean That option always works, but it is cumbersome:

Method a) screws on the computer and remove the battery (normally a button battery with approximately the diameter of a 10 cent piece) from the motherboard. Wait now about 1.5 hours (for newer board may also only 5-10 min duration) and the BIOS is clean.

Method b) On most motherboards, there is also a jumper you can be changed in order to clean the BIOS (computer must be strictly separated from the mains!). Which jumper it is, is in the motherboard manual. If you do not have available, look for a jumper with CSMOS or CCMOS or CLEAR CMOS / BIOS, or the like is labeled and set it for a few seconds. Then put the jumper strictly to the default setting (ie "not clear"), otherwise the BIOS and the PC unusable.

Thank you for your very extensive answer!

Unfortunately, none of the passwords,
and I can not boot from the hard disk, because Windows is completely destroyed,
I would therefore also change to boot from CD,
and this is not because I'm just not into the BIOS ....

And the jumper, I just do not think,
already have everything completely dismantled.


Where else who does what for me?

I have the same problem from a friend with ASUS Notebook
I've Hiren's boot cd tried (cmos is to kill or password reset)
but he does not want to boot from usb even though he could drive does not recognize burned cd's
asus there is also a master password?
original CD's no problem
burned, no matter which does not recognize drive

This is an easier fix than you would think. Amazing how quickly we technicians overlook the simple fixes when they are right in front of us. Check this out.

I thought I would do a good dead and correct all the wrong answers that seem to be in every thread regarding this issue on most every site/forum posted on the web.

There is actually many theory's floating around regarding the correct procedure for resetting the BIOS password on the ACER Aspire 3610 series laptops, including an older thread on this site. I have yet to find one that provided the answer I needed and wasted HOURS attempting to resolve this issue.

So here it is:

1. Power down the laptop.

2. Remove the battery.

3. Unplug the A/C adapter.

4. Very carefully remove the cover above the keyboard which also covers the LCD hinges. It snaps into place (no screws) so take caution while removing.

5. With this cover off look just above the keyboard on the mainboard & you will see a set of 4 small dip switches near the center. Factory settings should have all of these set to the left (palm rest side closest to you). Slide the top (#1 I believe) dip switch to right using small flat head screwdriver or other suitable tool.

Exercise caution while doing this or you can cause unrepairable damage to the mainbaord rendering the system a giant paper weight!!

6. Reinstall the battery & plug in A/C adapter.

7. Power system "ON" and press "F2" to enter BIOS.

VIOLA!! You are in and the BIOS has been reset!

8. Once you have successfully done this, power off the system and set the dip switch back to the original position. Reinstall the cover you removed above the keyboard.

Job Well Done!

We are new to these threads and will continue to try and provide more valuable tips & tricks in the future.

Hi there, As per your query i have searched for the same and come to know the solution on the Manual of the Acer which is having the solution. I think you are also having the manual of your device. So open the manual and go to the page 103 which has been discussed about the Switch setting on the same. So read that out and work yourself.

Hi how about the acer aspire 5120

Hi how about the acer aspire 5120

I assume that as per your question, you want to know about how to recover BIOS password from acer aspire 5120 laptop? I suppose you have to follow the same procedure that are given in this topic to recover your model no. laptop. You can also try to either use the clear_cmos jumper on the mother board or take out the battery thats on the motherboard when the computer is off and unplugged.

You are the absolute freekin man---Thx alot :]

I have a aspie one D255 and its asking me to please input password for WD WD1600BEVT-22A23??? Can some one please help

[JoanaJhon]

This looks like the BIOS settings. So if you are not having the password then simply disconnect the battery and the charger and after that take out the CMOS battery. When you do this then the drive security will be reset and you will be able to start your netbook.
