Open the computer.

Look for the CMOS battery: it's about the size of a nickel, is shiny.

Carefully pry it out of its socket, and keep it out for a couple
minutes.

Put it back in. When you start up, you will get a message that you
need to set things in the BIOS. Enter it, and choose all the default
settings.

Hi,

Go to the motherboard manufacturers website or refer to your owner manual
for the proper jumper to reset defaults. Either that or unplug the machine
and remove the cmos battery for a few minutes.

I always thought it had to stay out for at least 30 minutes? Not sure
though, either way, pulling the battery off the motherboard will clear
the password settings.

Also, before you pull the door off the machine, unplug it, and push the
power button. This way you reduce the chance of damaging any hardware.

A. By Using the Motherboard Jumper:

In most motherboards CMOS battery is soldered, which makes it difficult
to remove the battery. In this case we use another method.

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
manufacturer 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 remove 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.

B. By Using Software:

I have found that BIOS/CMOS Password Recovery Tool is the most
effective.:
BIOS/CMOS Password Recovery Tool is a program that works instantly to
remove any lost or forgotten BIOS/CMOS password. Simply boot your PC to
DOS and execute the program, and get access to forgotten BIOS/CMOS
passwords in just seconds
