| 273114 | 2004-09-17 04:00:00 | I forgot my BIOS password. I believe I now have to take out the jumper cables of the battery(??) or something? Since Iv'e never done this, is this dangerous?, could anyone tell me step-by-step how to carry this task out? Cheers, |

| 273115 | 2004-09-17 04:04:00 | How are you at electronics, etc? I would suggest getting a PC store to do it for you, otherwise you could cause considerable damage over something as small as removing the cmos battery. Lo. |

| 273116 | 2004-09-17 04:04:00 | You have to open the case and you'll see a battery (round) somewhere. TURN the power OFF first before u do this. Wait about 30 secs, then put it back. Then you'll have to boot up/go into the BIOS and change the settings for whatever, then save the settings again. |

You dont need to do that, most motherboard have a jumper that you switch over to reset the BIOS. |

| 273119 | 2004-09-17 04:40:00 | U still have to open the case to get to the jumper and still go into the BIOS after. | Spacemannz (808) | ||
| 273120 | 2004-09-17 06:03:00 | OR..... adding to Andrews' post, you can try using a bios password finder program like the one from here: www.softpedia.com |
