Hi if you want reset bios password ( asume you forget it) You need reset bios find reset CMOS jumper or take out battery for few sec. All settings in BIOS will be reset. Let me know if you need more help

Easiest way to wipe clean the Bios password is as follows:

• Perform a power drain by removing laptop battery pack and/or docking station power supply and hold power button down for 10 seconds
• Locate the CMOS battery (usually under the smallest panel on the bottom of the laptop)
• Remove CMOS battery for 20 minutes (20 is arbitrary can wait longer if you wish)
• Replace CMOS battery and panel
• Replace battery pack and/or replace to docking station
• Power up

The Bios password should now be removed and you should be able to boot with no issues. Thank you for using Fixya and please remember to return to rate this answer.
