Anyone have an Idea how to get pass a bios password for an ASUS M51sn I have tried all the passwords on the first page, pulled the laptop apart and not found a cmos battery to remove, bought a program to reset cmos - which reset the cmos clock and maybe the default settings but didn't clear the password .. any help appericiated
Simple thing I remember is get out BIOS battery, through it on land, again put it back, it will works
I have pulled the laptop apart (as much as i could) looking for a battery but couldn't find one, i believe it maybe a soldered unit on the motherboard
have you tried looking at jumper configuration for CMOS, else removing the battery and keeping it away for some time would actually reset the CMOS to factory settings and erase BIOS settings.
Yeah I've tried to find a jumper set on it.. I will leave the battery out for a week and see how it goes, Took it back to the store they don't want to know about it .. told them I paid $2200 for a laptop with a password stopping me from changing setting i need to change.. they called ASUS and all they say is yeah we can reset it but its gonna cost you $100 plus frieght to send it interstate for a password they left/set on it.. getting very frustrated with it all :beadyeyes
I have a dell inspiron 9300 which I got in trade for some work I did for someone. How he got it I have no idea. when I turn it on it asks for the bios password. Is there a backdoor password that can be used? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
@dunnthat : Each Dell Inspiron has a master password which will clear the BIOS password. You can get this number by calling Dell Technical Support at (800)624-9896. Dell Technical Support will request the Service Tag and Express Service Code from the bottom of your Inspiron. If you were not the original owner of the Inspiron, Dell will transfer registration of the used Inspiron from the original owner with only the Service Tag and Express Service Code from the tag on the laptop.
hi, i have a dell inspiron 1000 with a bios password that shows up when you turn it on. can somebody help me remove this password, please? thanks.
You should try all the universal bios passwords available for your BIOS manufacturer. If that doesn't help, flash the BIOS and see if it helps.

This is driving me nuts. I'm trying to get past the bios/hard drive password on an Inspiron 6000. I've tried all the less drastic measures, and now I'm down to shorting the bios with a paperclip. I've done it before with other laptops, but I can't find the CMOS chip, nor do I know which pins to short on this model. The user manual dell provides doesn't have a diagram of the mobo. Can anyone help?
I have a COMPAQ MINI 702EA which has a power on password set. You simply get a glimpse of the startup screen before it disapears and you are prompted for this password, I have tried the CMOS reset with no luck, I believe the password is on the EEPROM and I cant find any jumpers, dipswitches on the motherboard. A recovery tool would need to be on a USB stick. Can anyone suggest what to do before I throw this notebook on the scrap pile!!! Thanks
hey easy way and secret way to solve problem if u see the password screen has a blinking cursor like "_" the simple way of cracking is type "?" question mark key press shift key and then "/" button near down "enter" key many times like "????????????????????" it will show 8----k 8------ now it will start windows hope it works
RECOVERY IF YOU CAN BOOT THE SYSTEM If you can boot the system, BIOS password recovery is usually easy. The first thing you will want to do is to use a BIOS password cracker to recover the actual password. There are a large number of BIOS password crackers available from a variety of sources. Some BIOS crackers only work with certain BIOS versions and some work better than others. You may have to try a number of crackers before you find one that works. Some BIOS’ have pre-installed backdoor passwords that enable access to the system if you have lost or forgotten your password. Attempting to regain access to the computer by using one of the following backdoor passwords should be your first step if you have lost or forgotten your BIOS password and cannot boot your computer. If you are able to regain access to your system by using a backdoor password, you can then use a password cracker to reveal the stored password or enter the BIOS setup to change the password. These backdoors are more likely to work on older desktop systems. We are not aware of any name brand laptops or notebooks that have backdoor BIOS passwords. At boot-up note the BIOS provider (Award, AMI, Phoenix, IBM, etc.) For Award BIOS’ try these backdoor passwords: AWARD_SW j262 HLT SER SKY_FOX BIOSTAR ALFAROME Lkwpeter j256 AWARD?SW LKWPETER syxz ALLy 589589 589721 awkward CONCAT d8on CONDO j64 szyx For AMI BIOS’ try these backdoor passwords: AMI BIOS PASSWORD HEWITT RAND AMI?SW AMI_SW LKWPETER A.M.I. CONDO For PHOENIX BIOS’ try this backdoor password: phoenix
