111573 2003-01-07 01:12:00 I have a PC with an AMI Bios (American Megatrends Inc), and the owner cannot remember the password for it, however, I need to get into it, as I need to switch it to boot off the CD-ROM first!

How can I get in there, I understand it is possible to reset the BIOS, but Im not too sure how!

Thanks

111576 2003-01-07 01:25:00 Or most M/B's have a jumper to clear BIOS - Without a Manual, as GF says, remove the battery.

AMI BIOS backdoor passwords:
AMI
AAAMMMIII
BIOS
PASSWORD
HEWITT RAND
AMI?SW
AMI_SW
LKWPETER
A.M.I.
CONDO

Otherwise, if you can access the floppy drive, you may like to try a Bios password cracker... - this site (www.labmice.net) tells you how to do it

Let us know how you get on

I reset it!

I took out the bettery, turned it on, and nothing..
switched the jumper... turned on.. nothing
put the battery back in with the jumper on the second setting... nothing
put the jumper in its origional position... and it powers on but no display or anything.. Power switch wouldnt work either... So off at the wall..
Back on again and she seems fine!

Thanks guys :-)
