Jumper settings need jumper settings to reset cmos on a jetway motherboard jumper settings

I am not sure you have the exact model I do, but the battery is on the underside of the motherboard - you must undo the four silver screws holding the board down, and also two screws to remove the front plate. Pull the board up and out, and you will see the battery underneath.

BIOS passwordsare used to add some extra security to computers. You can either set a passwordto prevent access to BIOS settings or to prevent PC from booting. But sometimesthis extra security might become a pain when you forget the BIOS password orsomeone changes your system BIOS password intentionally. But there is noneed to worry. There are many known ways to reset / remove / bypass thepassword: · By removing CMOS battery · By using motherboard jumper · By using MS DOS command · By using software · By using Backdoor BIOS password Now I'll try to explain each methodone by one: By Removing CMOS Battery:
Almost allmotherboards use a small coin d CMOS battery to store all BIOS settingsalong with the password. To reset the password, unplug the PC, open the cabinetand remove the CMOS battery for approx. 15-30 minutes and thenput it back. It'll reset all BIOS settings as well as the password and you'llneed to re-enter all settings. If it fails,then try to remove the battery for at least one hour. By Using MotherboardJumper: Almost allmotherboards contain a jumper that can clear all CMOS settings along with theBIOS password. The location of this jumper varies depending upon themotherboard brand. You should read your motherboard manual to check itslocation. If you don't have the manual then look for the jumpers near the CMOSbattery. Most of the manufacturer label the jumper as CLR, CLEAR, CLEAR CMOS,etc. When you findthe jumper, look carefully. There will be 3 pins and the jumper will be joiningthe center pin to either left or right pin. What you need to do, is remove thejumper and join the center pin to the opposite pin. e.g. if the jumper joinscenter pin to left pin, then remove it and join center pin to right pin. Nowwait for a few seconds and then again remove the jumper and join the center pinto left pin. Make sure toturn the PC off before opening the cabinet and resetting the jumper. By UsingMS DOS Command: This methodworks only if you have access to the system when its turned on because thismethod requires MS DOS. Open Command Prompt from Programs menuand provide following commands one bye one: Debug o 70 2E o 71 FF quit NOTE:The first character in the above commands is English alphabet "o"and not the number 0. After providing the above commands, restart your systemand it should reset the CMOS Settings along with the BIOS password. If you arecurious to know how it works? then let me explain the above commands: In this method we are using theDebug tool of MS DOS. The "o" character present atfirst in these commands, outputs the values to IO ports. The number 70and 71 are port numbers which are used to access CMOS memory.By providing FF value we are telling CMOS that there is aninvalid checksum and it resets the CMOS settings as well as BIOS password. By UsingSoftware: There are a few software which canalso reset CMOS settings or BIOS password or both within a few clicks. But asstated above you should have access to a system which is turned on and shouldhave access to MS DOS or MS Windows: CmosPwd By Using Backdoor BIOSPassword: Some BIOSmanufacturer put a backdoor password in BIOS which always works irrespective ofwhat password you have set in BIOS. Its a master password which is used fortesting and troubleshooting purposes. AMI BIOS Passwords: A.M.I.

HI,
No need to worry. There are many known ways to reset / remove / bypass the password:

• By removing the CMOS battery
• By using the motherboard jumper
• By using MS DOS command
• By using software
• By using Backdoor BIOS password

Now I'll try to explain each method one by one:
A. By Removing the CMOS Battery:

Almost all motherboards use a small coin sized CMOS battery to store all BIOS settings along with the password. To reset the password, unplug the PC, open the cabinet and remove the CMOS battery for approx. 15-30 minutes and then put it back. It'll reset all BIOS settings as well as the password and you'll need to re-enter all settings.
If it fails, then try to remove the battery for at least one hour.

B. By Using the Motherboard Jumper:
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 don't 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.

C. By Using MS DOS Command:
This method works only if you have access to the system when its turned on because this method requires MS DOS. Open Command Prompt from Programs menu and provide following commands one bye one:
debug
o 70 2E
o 71 FF
quit
NOTE: The first character in the above commands is "O" and not the number 0.
After providing the above commands, restart your system and it should reset the CMOS Settings along with the BIOS password.
If you are curious to know how it works? then let me explain the above commands:
In this method we are using the Debug tool of MS DOS. The "O" character present at first in these commands, outputs the values to IO ports. The number 70 and 71 are port numbers which are used to access CMOS memory. By providing FF value we are telling CMOS that there is an invalid checksum and it resets the CMOS settings as well as BIOS password.

You can call Dell and they can reset the bios password for you. But if it doesn't have a warranty anymore you can simple open the casing of your computer and there's pin(jumper) on the motherboard that you can pull out and then put it back in. The password will be reset.

WARNING: Some BIOS configurations will lock you out of the system completely if you type in an incorrect password more than 3 times. Read your manufacturers documentation for the BIOS setting before you begin typing in passwords.

Using the Motherboard "Clear CMOS" Jumper or Dipswitch settings

Many motherboards feature a set of jumpers or dipswitches that will clear the CMOS and wipe all of the custom settings including BIOS passwords. The locations of these jumpers / dipswitches will vary depending on the motherboard manufacturer and ideally you should always refer to the motherboard or computer manufacturers documentation. If the documentation is unavailable, the jumpers/dipswitches can sometimes be found along the edge of the motherboard, next to the CMOS battery, or near the processor. Some manufacturers may label the jumper / dipswitch CLEAR - CLEAR CMOS - CLR - CLRPWD - PASSWD - PASSWORD - PWD. On laptop computers, the dipswitches are usually found under the keyboard or within a compartment at the bottom of the laptop.

Please remember to unplug your PC and use a grounding strip before reaching into your PC and touching the motherboard. Once you locate and rest the jumper switches, turn the computer on and check if the password has been cleared. If it has, turn the computer off and return the jumpers or dipswitches to its original position.
Removing the CMOS Battery

The CMOS settings on most systems are buffered by a small battery that is attached to the motherboard. (It looks like a small watch battery). If you unplug the PC and remove the battery for 10-15 minutes, the CMOS may reset itself and the password should be blank. (Along with any other machine specific settings, so be sure you are familiar with manually reconfiguring the BIOS settings before you do this.) Some manufacturers backup the power to the CMOS chipset by using a capacitor, so if your first attempt fails, leave the battery out (with the system unplugged) for at least 24 hours. Some batteries are actually soldered onto the motherboard making this task more difficult. Unsoldering the battery incorrectly may damage your motherboard and other components, so please don't attempt this if you are inexperienced. Another option may be to remove the CMOS chip from the motherboard for a period of time.

Note: Removing the battery to reset the CMOS will not work for all PC's, and almost all of the newer laptops store their BIOS passwords in a manner which does not require continuous power, so removing the CMOS battery may not work at all. IBM Thinkpad laptops lock the hard drive as well as the BIOS when the supervisor password is set. If you reset the BIOS password, but cannot reset the hard drive password, you may not be able to access the drive and it will remain locked, even if you place it in a new laptop. IBM Thinkpads have special jumper switches on the motherboard, and these should be used to reset the system. Also, Hirens Bot CD has Bios password crackers too. Good luck.

If this helps you resolve your problem, please
consider giving a good rating and a quick thanks
or good job.It will help me as well Thank you.

tRY THIS LIST AND OTHER ALTERNATIVES THAT FOLLOW...GOOD LUCK

WARNING: Some BIOS configurations will lock you out of the system completely if you type in an incorrect password more than 3 times. Read your manufacturers documentation for the BIOS setting before you begin typing in passwords.

ALSO, HIREN'S BOOT CD HAS SOME BIOS PASSWORD CRACKERS ON IT IF THIS DOESN'T WORK.

Hi Good day!! turn off your PC Remove your CMOS battery (2032 3volts) within 1minute and then put it back, turn on your PC now your bios password should be remove.

HOPE THIS HELPS...BE SURE AND READ ALL BEFORE STARTING...GOOD LUCK

WARNING: Some BIOS configurations will lock you out of the system completely if you type in an incorrect password more than 3 times. Read your manufacturers documentation for the BIOS setting before you begin typing in passwords.

If you didn't set it or do not know it then the entire laptop will have to be dismantled to remove the cmos battery for one hour to cancel that password.There is no easier way.
