Bios Password

[Smurfjet]

I just dug out my old PII to use for a home network, and it seems when I was a young lad, I put a password on the Bios that I can't remember now (what with old age and all!). Is there a way to "hack" that?

TIA

Smurfjet,

Remove the Power Cord from the Power Supply and then remove the Battery from the Mobo. Wait a good 15 to 20 minutes before putting them back in.

That will reset the CMOS and the Password with it. ;)

Take Care,

Richard

Or search for "bios password" on Google...don't know if any of them work though.

There is usually a jumper on the motherboard that you can remove to clear the BIOS password.

mazzy1026,

It, along with the 440BX Mobo, were a revolution for the computer industry. :ok:

Take Care,
