How to Bypass or Remove a BIOS Password

A BIOS password is a protection measure that can be used to stop someone powering up a computer system or making changes in some of the computers most sensitive areas. Many big name computer manufacturers such as Dell and HP lock the customers out of this area because they dont want the customer changing anything and potentially damaging the machine (which the manufacturer may have to warranty). However, when someone like a computer technician or hardware enthusiast needs to make some hardware changes to the computer, they will need to access the BIOS. Here are some methods to bypass or remove a BIOS password. NOTE: Do not try to guess the password on a passworded Hard Drive. 3 wrong guesses will often result in the information on the hard drive being lost forever. How to Bypass or Remove a BIOS Password by Removing the CMOS Battery: The simplest way to remove a BIOS password is to simply remove the CMOS battery. A computer will remember its settings and keep the time even when it is turned off and unplugged because these parts are powered by small battery inside the computer called a CMOS battery. If we pull out this battery, the computer will forget alot of its hardware settings, including its BIOS password. This should not be performed on Laptops if you are not experienced working with laptop hardware. Anyway, open up the computer case using a screw driver and locate the flat, circular and metallic CMOS battery. It should look something like the picture to the right. Some computers have this part standing upright. Once you have located it, observe how the latches are holding it. There are many different ways to remove a CMOS battery but the most common way on newer computers can be seen in the picture below. Make sure to power down the computer, unplug the power cables and unplug any USB devices if they are powered. The computer must not be able to get power from anywhere for this to work. Take out the CMOS battery and wait 10 25 minutes before putting it back in. The reason for this wait is because the computer can still store power in its capacitors even though everything is unplugged. The waiting period allows enough time for them to discharge. Plug everything back in, power up the computer and enter the BIOS again. If everything went well there should be no more password. In some cases, if you get weird error messages during bootup now, you will need to goto Load BIOS Defaults in BIOS and save the changes to fix them. If this method didnt work, try one of the methods below. How to Bypass or Remove a BIOS Password using Software: !BIOS is a freeware utility which is designed to be a whole BIOS and security suite. It has the ability to decrypt the passwords used in some of the most common BIOS makes such as Award, Phoenix, American Megatrends, IMB etc.. It also has the ability to brute force the password (known as blasters). However, this method is dangerous and can result in some unexpected and unwanted results. Note: Because of this applications password cracking abilities, some antivirus software may report it as a virus/trojan. This is a false positive.

To start using !BIOS, reboot your computer and take note of the BIOS type and version you are running. For example, If your motherboard uses Award BIOS you should look for the text Award Medallion BIOS 6.0 or something similar. Download !BIOS from here and save it to your desktop. Then, open a DOS command windows by going to Start > Run and type: cmd Once you see a black screen in front of you, type: cd desktop You should now see something like: C:\Documents and Settings\YourUserName\Desktop> Now type the name of the file you just downloaded, if you havent changed the name just type in: bios320.exe Use the down arrow and choose Crackers and then press the right arrow. Using the up and down arrows, select the BIOS that the motherboard is using and press Enter. You should now see a menu asking what you want to crack, in most cases its the Supervisor or System Passwords you want to crack, so press the 1 key on your keyboard. It will then show you another menu asking how you want it to be cracked. Option 1 is pretty good so try that first by pressing the 1 key on your keyboard. You should now have your BIOS password. Reboot the computer, enter the BIOS and try it out. How to Bypass or Remove a BIOS Password using the manufacturer backdoor password: On many computers (especially old ones), computer manufacturers build in backdoor passwords for their own technicians to use so they can access the BIOS when the hardware is being serviced. Here are some of the ones that have been reported. You may need to try quite a few passwords before you find one that works These passwords are CaSe SeNsItIve. AMI BIOS Backdoor Passwords: A.M.I.

The manufacturer backdoor password list could also come in handy. 2 Jason Porter says: December 4th, 2007 at 10:10 am Thanks, I did not know about the backdoor passwords, Ive almost always had success with resetting it, but the rest is good to know. 3 robman says: December 5th, 2007 at 11:50 pm

Excellent! pcstats gave me the link kudos to your alliance! Hardocp-er 4 FriendlyGeek says: December 6th, 2007 at 3:58 am Uhmmm, dont take out the battery. Just find the CMOS jumper(its almost always near the battery), Then move it over for about five seconds Then move it back, and Your BIOS will be reset. This is much faster than waiting for all the power to drain. Some newer boards even have a button instead of a jumper. 5 Remote Computer Repair says: December 7th, 2007 at 9:44 am Great tips, as always! 6 wooosh says: December 17th, 2007 at 5:39 am these backdoor passwords didnt work for me. i have a dell inspiron 1100 and have had a load of problems trying to reboot windows xp onto it. there isnt enuff space to do this and have been trying to get it to use the disk first on install but as it is obviously set different then i cant get it to run unless i can change the boot path. have tried taking the casinbg off to attempt the battery removal but cant do that as need a special topol. any help? 7 ali says: January 4th, 2008 at 1:32 pm i have dell labtop model no : inspiron 6000 i have bios password . when i start my computer. he is wirte the screen . this computer system 513hl1j-595b is protected by a password authentication system. you cannot access the data on this computer without the correct password . please type in the system or administrator password and press enter. please help me sir now what i do. 8 ali says: January 4th, 2008 at 1:37 pm i remove the also battry inside the labtop. but he is cannot open stell. need pasword . sir give me your mobil nubmer i called u. 9 chad says: January 7th, 2008 at 5:19 pm dont remove the battery, JP14 has a jumper on pin 1 and 2, remove jumper and install on pin 2 and 3 for 3 seconds and then reinstall onto pin 1 and 2.

11 Rhonda says: March 1st, 2008 at 1:20 am I have a dell inspirion600m. I bought a new dell laptop from ebay over a yr ago, and reg it online. Now the hd has crashed, i purchased a new one, but am locked out by an admin pw the prev owner installed. Dell was willing to send me start up cds and transfer ownership, but thats as much cooperation as they will give. Ive not yet found a pw that works. Any suggestions?Ive also replaced the battery, the cord, and the adapter for the motherboard. Dell is telling me Ill have to buy a new motherboard. Ebay is of no assistance either due to the time that has passed. I never realized til the harddrive went down that there was a admin pw. Thanks. 12 Augustus says: March 3rd, 2008 at 1:03 am I have a Toshiba Tablet PC (R15) I ran a program that powered down the PC then I get Password= (BIOS PASSWORD) I tried all these suggestions and even unpluge3d the battery (CMOS / RTC) but its still there.

If the password is on the hard drive, these methods wont help. In fact, your options are very very few if its a hard drive password. For BIOS passwords, removing the battery fixes 90% of them. 21 greg says: April 16th, 2008 at 10:56 am i have a hp omnibook 4150 that is passworded can u help thanks 22 Tim Bob says: April 20th, 2008 at 11:13 pm I shall try and help thos of you that have got a bit mixed up. The BIOS/CMOS password can be reset most of the time by just taking out the battery from the motherboard for a few hours, sometimes only 15 mins. This can be a bit tricky on a laptop, so be careful. Some of you have mentioned getting a meassage that goes something like this, THIS COMPUTER SYSTEM IS PROTECTED BY A PASSWORD AUTHENTICATION SYSTEM.etc.etc. This is a HARD DRIVE password stored in the boot sector, NOT a BIOS/CMOS password. I so far have only found one thing that works, and not every time mind. If you have acces to another PC/Laptop, download and install the most current version of Window Washer. I find this a good program for keeping your temp files in check as you can set it to delete them every time you exit your internet browser. Youll be amazed at how much space youve saved, just after a few days. Anyway, the section you want is on tab on the left hand side of the window marked System Eraser. This will show you, in 2 easy steps, how to make an Eraser boot disk/cd. This disk/cd will COMPLETELY erase the hard drive of any system that you boot it in, and hey presto, you have an almost-out-of-the-factory hard drive. Remember, this is an erasing program, NOT a formatting program, so you will still need to format the drive after, as it will COMPLETELY erase EVERYTHING. Also, if you have sensitive data on the hard drive that you are going to erase, you might want to consider setting it to the max amount of passes, around 35!! This will almost ensure that NO Delete Retrievel program will be able to get it back. This process may take severall hours to a couple of days, depending on the size of the drive. This has worked for me around 85% of the time, hope it works for you too. 23

Andy says: April 25th, 2008 at 8:06 pm Hi em why go to all that trouble? Just flash the bios and it resets to default simple enough to do switch of and unplug computer. Open side case / locate the bios jumper on the MB/ generally theres three pins the jumpre will cover two. Change it so it covers the one that isnt and the center pin. Turn on computer. leave for about 5 seconds. turn off computer and unplug. reset bios jumper back to where it was. turn on computer and access bios. simple enough no backdoors, no software and no messing with cmos batteries although the latter does work on most newer machines flashing the bios though is probably the oldest and easiest method to do a bios reset.. As to the other chap with the password problem? slave the drive into another computer/recover data/format the drive password is gone as is anything on the drive/refit (as a master) and re-install. seriously guys this is computers first grade ffs. 24 Kevin says: May 7th, 2008 at 5:35 am Now tell me how to reset a password from a Toshiba Laptop M35-S320. I have tried all the methods on the web, Ive tried parallet port loopback, keydisk,operate the whole laptop out into pieces and remove the cmos battery cable. There are 2 small green batteries soldered together, laptop PC is so much different than a desktop PC, the way that Andy described is so easy for a desktop PC or some laptops, but it did not work in my case where I have this Laptop M35-S320 I have tried to re-flash the BIOS, but it wont let me because its not even pass the stupid BIOS password screen before it can detects any floppy drive or bootable device. I know theres a way to short out the jumper or EPROM jumper, but I could not find this on the laptop motherboard, maybe it is somewhere that I couldnt see it yet. If anyone has a solution to this, please help. 25 ABBAS says: May 9th, 2008 at 8:26 am PASSWORD RECOVERY i have toshibe tecra laptop . i forgot the bios password can u help me in this regert thankz 26 caesar says: May 20th, 2008 at 12:25 am andy gets the golden jumper award. it is simple and fast (1st grade) 27 dan says: May 21st, 2008 at 6:27 pm Got a HP laptop wheni start it up it goes straight into a screen that asks for a power up password how do i get by that 28 rytmus says: June 10th, 2008 at 9:43 am nemmmmuuukodik

MaureenI would get a laptop hard drive case with usb connection on Ebay for about $20 total, and pull your laptop hard drive,put it in the case and connect to another computer with cdrw. Find the files you want, and copy them to the cd. Maybe you could use a friends computer. My sony vaio laptop hard drive is on the right side with one screw and a slide latch, then pull it out. Take it out of the case and put it in the usb case, and follow insts they send. Photos are very important. Hope is answers your problem..God Bless, Ed goeking 73 Shan says: April 4th, 2009 at 3:35 pm I have a Dell Inspiron 1526 laptop and my friends have set the bios password and aplied the require on sartup. they also dont know the password. any advice. 74 Laptop Rebirth says: April 15th, 2009 at 1:19 pm Hello everyone, im working in a authorized laptop repair/service center portable and have access to all information on how to remove the BIOS password of the models: IBM / Lenovo, Acer, Dell, Compaq / HP, Sony, Toshiba, Fujitsu-Siemens .

Ive just watched an interesting video of a presentation from Defcon about how to read the unencrypted bios password. I tried it on this laptop, it didnt work but it does apparently work on others. You have to be able to boot into windows or linux so it might not be so useful. You will also have to compile it using nasm. http://www.defcon.org/images/defcon-16/dc16-presentations/defcon-16-brossard.pdf 81 Kenny says: May 22nd, 2009 at 9:23 am I work for HP, and if you have a system power up password on a laptop. It is customer damage when you dont know the password. System board needs to be replaced but not under warranty. Had these problems before with companys who had their employees fired but not knowing the system passwords of the laptops. And the ex-employee did not want to tell it. So they had to replace all the system boards under no warranty $$$. Some laptops were only 2 months old. Removing the CMOS battery works for the BIOS password but not for System Power up password. 82 Jeanette says: May 26th, 2009 at 7:16 am I have a HP desk top that had only one password and the password was entered too many time incorrectly and now it wont let us log into it at all.

First off he forgot that not everyone is as adept at computers as others. And if he would have continued to read he would have noticed everyone is speaking mostly on LAPTOP computers not a HOME pc. As fas as this being elementary level, by far also not true. I have an associate degree in Computer Science and many cert. and also I am emplyed by a firm that deals with things of this nature, and this is by far not elementary. How-ever another common fix that he forgot to mention is that you can short out the admin pass stored on the EEPROM setting, which is what HP is notoriuos for, simply by unplugging the EEPROM board and the CMOS (not bios by the way KYLE) and depressing the power button for a few seconds. If it doesnt work that way then you can also try shorting out the cmos password by touching the CMOS battery tips on the board that the battery plugs into to a seperate grounded peice of metal. Not aluminum or brass, it has to be metal. You can usually find a piece real close to the CMOS battery plug-in. Hope the info was helpful. Thanks 100 Brien says: August 14th, 2009 at 4:55 am

Sorry about last post Kyle, Those comments were aimed at ANDY.

110 Altahost Compure Services says: October 6th, 2009 at 7:45 pm I see this kind of response to cmos password recovery all the time and would like to add my two pennith. Firstly Battery removal will work if the cmos password was set up by a user after it has left the factory. Second, you can flash, restore to original, trip the jumpers as many times as you want and it will have absolutely no effect if the password was set up in the original bios by the manufacturer. Simply because it is protected as the rest of the base setup software is. The best you could do is to retrieve the password that has been created. This method will work for most secured passwords. Firstly what you need is a floppy drive and 2 blank disks. You will need to create a Win98 boot disk. You will need to download (AWARDBFD.exe) Search google for it, the one on Drivers Guide is a good copy. http://members.driverguide.com/driver/detail.php?driverid=134029&action=filfo&t=1 Extract that zip onto the other blank 3.5 floppy disk. My guess is your BIOS is set to start Hard drive before CD rom so, disconnect the hard drive and the BIOS will naturally look for the next bootable device. Boot your system with the Win98 Startup Disk. When you have the prompt (Make sure its the A:/) or drive letter of your floppy, insert the AWARD disk and then type AWARDBPF.exe Hey Presto, you will see both user and administrator passwords. Write them down and then enter Setup and type the Administrator Password Hope this helps :) 111 mark says: October 16th, 2009 at 4:54 am This information is intended for experienced users. It is not intended for basic users, hackers, or computer thieves. Please do not try any of following procedures if you are not familiar with computer hardware. Ill not be responsible for the use or misuse of this information, including personal injury, loss of data or hardware damage. So use it at your own risk. 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 dont 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.

The laptop was originally owned by a hospital, passed via auction to an employee, which then was passed

to her daughter. Neither of them can remember either of the passwords. Ive yet to get the cover off to force the reset of the Bios (as the screws in this thing have damaged two of my screwdrivers) and are very small. I plan to format the hard drive with Linux once I can get past the bios (as it wont boot to an external drive/flash drive/usb drive). Ill post an update here on how this went. (may also link some images of this case and its cmos battery location and such) Randy 141 deeptiman says: January 25th, 2010 at 5:16 pm hello, sir i have a hcl me laptop . but i dont know my bios name which is being use by my motherboard .so how can i know my bios name . 142 Aeontechnology says: January 26th, 2010 at 9:30 pm I have the Answer for all who need a password or CMOS password or hard drive passwords. (For windows only!) Desktop are as follows. If the BIOS is password protected, Like in previous posts, All you have to do is remove the CMOS battery and reset the jumper. Laptops on the other hand my be a little more difficult. Most can be recovered my just removing the CMOS battery for 30min others need a little to a lot more work. Some as above have master passwords that can reset to OEM. Some like most dells require you to call dell for them to try and generate a password for you if the password fails you will be required to send to dell for them to replace the motherboard because of the BIOS backup chip located on the motherboard right below the CPU (or if you are truly gifted replacing this chip yourself). If your under warranty then your fine, If the CPU was given to you just transfer the ownership on dells support website and your fine, dell will be happy to replace the board and you are only out 15 days. But if you dont have a warranty it will cost you about $50 to acquire a temp warranty so you can get the same service. Those who dont want to pay or have gotten there laptop by ill gotten gains are S,O,L, unless you find a way to replace the motherboard or chip. As for all hard drive passwords on desktops and laptops, you have two option, a program that creates its own BIOS to format the hard drive like SecurErase 8 or the ever famous password recovery tools that people like to use ( keep in mind that those programs need the windows BIOS to create there own so if the BIOS is locked your S.O.L. As for the second way just use a legit OS and reformat the hard drive and you will be back to square one. but remember that some ways you will loose all data and others you just will recover your lost password. I hope this was somewhat helpful to those dont know or would like some light shed on this subject! 143 Erik says: January 27th, 2010 at 4:37 pm I have dell latitude d820 how do i reset bios password. removing battery does not work built in security feature anybody have any other i just but 10 of this in auction please help 144 krishna says: February 4th, 2010 at 4:33 am can u please tell me how to remove the setup password for hp 6710 compaq laptop. 145 krishna says: February 4th, 2010 at 4:34 am can u please tell me how to remove the setup password for hp 6710 compaq laptop reply can be at guntur.krishna @gmail.com

Now for those that have other message that says this computer system is protected by a password authentication system. you cannot access the data on this computer without the correct password . That password has been setup in the bios system but that one will work just fine if you replace your current Hard Drive with a new one,Just make sure you press keys >F2 or F12,F10.for the boot menu then chose DVD Rom.

BIOS is password protected. ONLY Sony customer service can help. Called them last night. They want $49.99 AND a faxed copy of a Proof of Purchase. I told them that I purchased this unit at yardsale and dont have a true purchase receipt. They told me that it would be impossible, due to security reasons, to help me without receipt. On this laptop (and many other newer laptops), removing CMOS battery has NO effect on removing passwords AT ALL! You can NOT FLASH the BIOS to remove the password either. The system will NOT boot to CD or floppy or USB. What I have read is that Sony IS capable of generating a MASTER PASSWORD (after you pay) that is associated with your laptops serial number. So this is more of a complaint than anything.SONY, in its great wisdom, has completely forgotten that MANY, MANY laptops are discarded at second-hand stores, flea markets, and donated as old and useless all the time. But these laptops are still useful to many of us who cant afford a brand new unit. So although its great for Sony to capture $49.99 to recover a lost password and make a computer USEFUL, they have NO WAY (that I know) of initiating some kind of TRANSFER of laptops program when we, the general public, comes

Ill not be responsible for the use or misuse of this information, including personal injury, loss of data or hardware damage. So use it at your own risk.

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 dont 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 BIOS/CMOS Password Recovery Tool Service: http://www.biospasswordrecovery.com/ 181 John says: May 7th, 2010 at 12:33 pm First off, the post title doesnt specify desktop or laptop so some of you need to be a little more cautios before insulting others. Secondly, not everyone is PC tech saavy, that is why these post exists because people dont want to pay businesss high fees for something they can do themselves. Third, there have been a few posts stating that the Dell message this computer system is protected by a password authentication system. you cannot access the data on this computer without the correct password . please type in the system or administrator password and press enter is a Hard Drive passwaord then they had the nerve to call the people asking for help idiots. Well it is NOT a hard drive password, it is not even a bios password but a System Boot password. The easiest way to find out if it is a hard drive password is to REMOVE the drive and turn it on, with NO DRIVE in the laptop you will still get the massage. 182 Dr@g0N r1d3R says: May 8th, 2010 at 7:35 am Those of u who r using laptops the cmos battery r of several types and some r with wires u remove the wires and the board is lifeless gound it so it losses all the power and once lost all power it will be reset i dont trust the bios password recovery tool so i used this method to recover the password also jumpers dont exist in laptops they do exist in desktops so dont waste ur tie searching for the jumpers in laptops its a dead end :-( also be very careful replacing or reseting the bios don damage any other components its not too complicated if u have already done it on desktops Have a nice day :-) i hope i was helpful 183 Fabio501 says: May 9th, 2010 at 11:46 am hi i have a notebook olidata tehom 4903 model L51II0 , with a bios psswrd. ive clear the cmos battery ..no jumper i need a defoult password
