Reset user password that was saved in bios - Microsoft Windows XP Professional With Servise Pack 2 (e8503040) for PC

In some BIOS password configurations , you can set a user password and an administrator password . Sometimes the user password lets the computer boot but won't let you in the BIOS setup, but on other occasions, the user password will do both.

Sometimes removing CMOS battery of laptop overnight will reset bios parameters.if this does not work you have two other options.Google hirens boot disc 15.1 on another computer and either make a bootable USB. Stick or burn to cd.start laptop in get into bios to change the boot sequence to either cd or USB.let the hirens boot cd run.it installs a small version on windows Xp on the ram and let's you then access the hdd to save all the files and pictures on to other media.it also has many tools including software to read all stored passwords on hdd and bios but I don't recommend this until you have retrieved all you want to save.hope this helps please vote?thankyou.

User passwords:
Power on
BIOS execution can be controlled by a Power On Password. This password is set in the BIOS Configuration screen, accessed by pressing the F1 key after pressing the power on switch to turn on the PC. If the person at the keyboard does not know the Power On Password, then BIOS execution halts.

Hard drive
The hard drive is controlled by the Hard Drive Password. After the Power On Password is entered, the person at the keyboard must be able to enter the Hard Drive Password, otherwise the disk drive will not spin up for use. Like the Power On Password, the Hard Drive Password is set in the BIOS configuration screen.

Administrative passwords:
Each of the two user passwords can be controlled by a Master or administrative password. If the administrative password is not set, then anyone who knows the user password can change it in the BIOS configuration screen. If the administration password is set, then it is impossible to reset the user password unless you know the administrative password. The Supervisor Password is the administrative password for the Power On Password. The Master Hard Drive Password controls the Hard Drive Password.

Password Recovery is a feature of Client Security Solution 6.0. This makes it possible for an end user to recover from the problem of "I forgot my Power On Password or Hard Drive Password."
