Your security awareness has become a curse for you. You now want to reconfigure your BIOS but have forgotten the password to it.
The easiest way to reset a BIOS password is to use the Clear RTC jumper. This jumper is present on almost all classic motherboards in desktop PCs. Search for ‘BIOS Reset’, ‘Clear RTC’ or ‘CMOS Reset’ in the manual of your motherboard (if you don’t have the manual, you can download it from the manufacturer’s website if required). The instructions are often in the ‘Jumpers’ chapter. If your motherboard does not have a suitable jumper, then you can try resetting the BIOS RAM values to default by removing the CMOS battery. Always disconnect the computer from the main plug. Remove the lithium button cell and place a 50 p coin in the battery holder (to short out the pins). This ensures that any residual voltage holding the content of the BIOS memory is done away with. Now wait for at least 10 minutes (15 minutes if you are in a cooler area) before removing the coin and re-positioning the battery. During the booting process, enter the BIOS and load the default settings. You can re-confi gure BIOS after a restart. This does not usually work for notebooks, laptops and netbooks. In this case, you should seek help from the manufacturer’s help desk or service center.
