How can I remove a bios password?

Somewhere on the motherboard there should be a small battery, like a watch battery. Remove that, wait 5 minutes, put it back and turn it on. Password should be gone.

I’m going by memory from a computer engineering course I took 8 years ago, but I’m pretty sure that will work.

founf it, it’s just being a b*tch to take out. It’s gues in and connected with a clip, not the usual battery holder.

Fuck, now it’s telling me it needs a new battery (error codes 00161 and 00163)

i just bricked a piece of history and I’m flat broke. Damnit.

What sort of battery? A computer that old is likely to have a nearly dead BIOS battery anyways, so I am surprised it even remembered the BIOS password.

Most computers (desktops at least) I have dealt with take a CR2032 watch battery that you should be able to find for only about $2. Still, I doubt you actually bricked it; you just need to wait until payday.

I got no paydays coming in the near future soI might just pull one out of my laptop’s remote controll and solder that onto the wires that connected the old one.

Too bad you aren’t nearby. Like any computer geek, I always have spares.

@jerv yeah, i usually have a few of each battery type, but my stocks have been low lately XD
