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.

Take Care,
