If this laptop is not the newer EFI type, and (AND) you did not enter a permanent HARDWARE lock-out, the procedure has always been to disconnect the "bios battery" (also referred to as the CMOS, in the Windows world, but that has always been stupid - since CMOS is a construction architecture for chips...) and let it sit for a day or two. The capacitors that power it to hold clock data and other settings will just blank - like your radio stations do when your car has the battery disconnected.

If this is a HARDWARE password, you'll never get past it. Doesn't matter the brand. It's a brick - once the eprom has that password written into it - laptop, desktop, phone, whatever. You don't know that hardware master password? It's just a paperweight now. Dismantle it, and sell the other parts on ebay.

SOURCE: toshiba satellite pro 6100 bios reset?

The Password can be removed via the printer port
What you need is a password removal tool, It removes the Bios and start-up passwords.
It costs about £5.00. Easy to build but it costs more to put the kit together.
I think you were quite hard on the assistance.
People here are just trying to help. At least appreciate that!

My MECER xpression notebook laptop is showing a bios password and it doesn't allow me to press

It sounds like your MECER xpression notebook laptop is displaying a BIOS password prompt and you are unable to enter anything after entering the wrong password three times. You can try the following steps to resolve the issue:

  1. Try to remember the password you previously set for the BIOS. If you are unable to remember it, you may need to reset the BIOS password.
  2. To reset the BIOS password, you can try removing the CMOS battery from your laptop's motherboard for a few minutes and then reinserting it. This will reset the BIOS settings to their default values and remove any passwords.
  3. If removing the CMOS battery does not work, you can try using a BIOS password reset tool or contacting the manufacturer for assistance.
It's important to note that resetting the BIOS password may cause your laptop to lose some custom settings or configurations, so you may need to set them up again after resetting the password.

I have a Wipro Laptop. His BIOS is Phoenix. It has a CMOS password. How shall I clear the password.\?

Hi Nayanranjani.

As you trying to reset the BIOS password, let me provide the required steps.

You may reset the BIOS password by just removing and inserting the CMOS Battery.

The CMOS Battery will have the Computer date, time and also the BIOS password saved in it.

Hence, removing and re-inserting the CMOS password will reset the BIOS password.

Once the BIOS password is removed, you may assign a new BIOS password.

Hope this helps.

Please feel free to ask further questions.

OK, here is my guide to Remove Acer Bios password computer via Software. This has been done on testing machine Laptop Acer Aspire 3620/ Travel Mate 2420. Anyway, I'm not sure it will work on every Acer PC/Laptop so just consider to do at your own risk, I’m not responsible for any damages caused by this guide.

As we know most of Acer computer (Laptop & Desktop) allow us to setup BIOS in Microsoft Windows (9x/XP/Vista) environment. Great, this is the powerful that help us to remove the BIOS password cuz all we know if we enter Setup Utility at the boot time we have only three times of filling the password and if all wrong then the system will halt.
The program helps us to enter Acer BIOS setup in Microsoft Windows is “Acer eSettings Management” which comes with the CD when we buy Acer PC/Laptop. If you lost the CD then just come to Acer website to download the program.
