How to remove BIOS password




BIOS passwords are used to add some extra security to computers. You can either set a password to prevent access to BIOS settings or to prevent PC from booting. But sometimes this extra security might become a pain when you forget the BIOS Password or someone changes your system BIOS password intentionally. But there is no need to worry. There are many known ways to reset / remove / Bypass the password:

Method 1: By Removing the CMOS Battery: 
Almost all motherboards use a small coin sized CMOS battery to store all BIOS Settings along with the password. To reset the password, unplug the PC, open the Cabinet and remove the CMOS battery for approx. 15-30 minutes and then put it back. It'll reset all BIOS settings as well as the password and you'll need to Re-enter all settings. If it fails, then try to remove the battery for at least one hour.

Method 2: By Using the Motherboard Jumper:
 Almost all motherboards contain a jumper that can clear all CMOS settings along With the BIOS password. The location of this jumper varies depending upon the Motherboard brand. You should read your motherboard manual to check its Location. If you don't have the manual then look for the jumpers near the CMOS Battery. Most of the manufacturers label the jumper as CLR, CLEAR, CLEAR CMOS, Etc. When you find the jumper, look carefully.  There will be 3 pins and the jumper will be joining the center pin to either left or right pin. What you need to do, Is removing the jumper and join the center pin to the opposite pin. E.g. if the jumper joins center pin to left pin, then remove it and join center pin to right Pin. Now wait for a few seconds and then again remove the jumper and join the Center pin to left pin. Make sure to turn the PC off before opening the cabinet and resetting the Jumper.

Method 3: By Using MS DOS Command:
This method works only if you have access to the system when it’s turned on Because this method requires MS DOS. Open Command Prompt from Programs menu and Provide following commands one by one: 
debug
o 70 2E
o 71 FF
quit


NOTE: The first character in the above commands is "O" and not the number 0.After providing the above commands, restart your system and it should reset the CMOS Settings along with the BIOS password.

Method 4: By Using Backdoor BIOS Password:

Some BIOS manufacturer put a backdoor password in BIOS which always works Irrespective of what password you have set in BIOS. It’s a master password which is used for testing and troubleshooting purposes.

Five Important things to do with Your PC





1.Backup Program

Are you feeling guilty already? It’s not like backup programs are secret tools that nobody knows of; yet a lot of people either don’t worry about their data or they just never get around to running backups. It’s time to quit that!

Why

You will always have a second copy of your data in case the other copy gets compromised or is lost.

Your data is valuable! A backup will save you money or time trying to recover damaged or lost files.

Murphy’s Law: Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong.

Which is the best

FBackUp for local backups and Mozy for online backups (2GB free).


2.Password Manager

Unless your name is Data, you probably have a hard time remembering things now and then. If you’re human that’s normal. Nevertheless, you should 1. have a different password for every account and 2. change it often to protect yourself from hackers and identity theft.

Why

Never again forget a password.

Use complicated secure passwords and thus protect your accounts from getting hacked.

Murphy’s Law: Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong.

And you’d better back up your Password Manager!

Which is the best

LastPass, a cross-platform browser plugin that stores and syncs your passwords wherever you go. For local storage I recommend KeePass.


3.Uninstaller

We all install software to test it and then never use it again. So it sits there and takes up space. Why not simply uninstall it?

Why

Frees up space on your hard drive.

May even speed up your system if the software starts with Windows.

Which is the best

Windows comes with an uninstaller. However, software dedicated to this task is much better!  recommends Revo Uninstaller and IObit Uninstaller.


4.Defragmenter

No matter which file system you have on your hard drive, the fuller it gets, the more likely it is that files will be fragmented, and this will slow down the hard drive.

Why

Speed up your hard drive.

Which is the best



5.System Maintenance Software

System maintenance tools remove temporary and junk files, clean your system and boost its speed. Most system maintenance software actually comes with an uninstaller, a defragmenter, and malware protection. So they are an all-in-one tool to keep your computer in top shape.

Why

Remove junk files and free up space.

Fix common annoyances and boost system speed.

Clean all browser browser files in one place.

Which is the best
