I replaced the cmos battery and cleared it

how to reset or clear the BIOS password is to physically remove the power from the computer by disconnecting the power plug and then removing the Cmos battery for 30 minutes from the motherboard some motherboards cmos batteries are soldered in

Another way is to reset the clear CMOS jumper on the motherboard itself. Both of the 2 methods mentioned works because most motherboards use a battery to sustain the BIOS/CMOS settings for the motherboards PROM chip. So by cutting off cmos the battery power, the BIOS/CMOS settings will be erased
or if using XP

Restart your computer during the boot process tap the f8 button three times this will boot into safe mode where the only things working will be your mouse and keyboard enabling you to attempt to repair your computer Advanced Boot Options screen appears.

Select the Safe Mode option using the up and down arrow keys, then press the ENTER key. Choose "Windows XP Home/Professional", depending on the version of the operating system.

Press ENTER. Shortly, the welcome screen should show.
Log in as "Administrator". Click Yes to not use System Restore Mode.


Click the Start button. Choose Run and type in "control user passwords" (without the quotes). Click OK.


Select the "Administrator" user. Click Change my password. Enter a new password in the corresponding text boxes. Click OK. Write this password down and store it in a secure place Close the User Accounts window and restart Windows.
hope it helps

Hi
You need to open up your computer to access inside.
By this process,please be warned of potential ESD [Electro Static Discharge].
On the computer motherboard locate the BIOS clear/Password jumper or Dipswitch and change its position.Its mostly located on the edges of the motherboard,by the CMOS battery or even by the processor.
Its usually labelled,CLEAR,CLEAR CMOS,JCMOS1,CLR,CLRPWD,PASSWD,PASSWORD,PSWD or PWD.
Its currently fixed on two pins i.e.pin 1 & 2 a third pin is not covered.
Now remove it and fix it on pins 2 & 3 leaving pin 1 uncovered.
Turn on the computer let it load and the password is cleared.
Turn it off.Re-fix the Jumper to its original position i.e.on pin 1 & 2.
Turn your machine on now.
Solved?
Remove the CMOS battery [a round 3v Lithium battery on the motherboard] for like 15 minutes.This makes the system to loose all CMOS settings including the password.

Hope this helps.Thanks!
Ken.

If it is coming from Windows as it returns from hibernation or the screen saver has gone on with "require password" to access, enter your normal windows password. If it is coming from the password protection set-up in CMOS you need to clear the CMOS with the jumper on the motherboard (see motherboard or computer manual), or if there is no jumper on the motherboard to "Clear CMOS or sometimes BIOS) then carefully pull the motherboard battery (located in a socket on the top of the motherboard (usually a silver 3202 round battery about the size of a quarter) wait 5 minutes for the CMOS to clear, reinsert the battery and then boot normally. You should not see the login and it should go to Windows boot directly.

click start control panel date and time you can make your adjustments to the date and time from there or right click on the date and time and you should see Adjust date and time tab hope this helps

Here is the solution:

Beeps 9 times:- System not fetching code Microcode

"update" else replace the system board

That deals with your bios.

I would try resetting the CMOS first.

To clear CMOS:

Clearing CMOS*
The computer's configuration (CMOS) may occasionally be corrupted. If it is, it is necessary to clear the CMOS
memory using switch SW50.
To clear and reset the configuration, perform the following procedure:
1. Prepare the computer for disassembly.
ã„CAUTION: The power cord must be disconnected from the power source before pushing the Clear CMOS
Button (NOTE: All LEDs on the board should be OFF). Failure to do so may damage the system board
2. Remove the access panel.
3. Press the CMOS button located on the system board and keep it depressed for 5 seconds.
4. Replace the access panel.
5. Turn the computer on and run F10 Computer Setup (Setup-utility) to reconfigure the system.
*When the CMOS button is pushed or the jumper is removed, both the power-on password and the setup password

One bad lead can cause a computer to continue on a cycle or to shutdown or fail to detect your hard drive

Test all leads that attach to your hard drive including electrical extensions,IDE,SATA

the leads from your ((motherboard to your hard drive)) make sure they have a secure connection and are not faulty or just replace them there probably old and faulty
make sure all leads that are attached to your drives dvd\cd 3 1/2 inch floppy have secure connections and are not faulty even the electic extensions or just replace them they are probably faulty a computer needs its connections to have an end so any faulty leads will end up with a computer error hope this helps

Hello prad3010:
First be sure the replacement battery is a known good one. I have had bad new batteries before.
After starting up go into your bios and reset to default values and accept the changes.
When it reboots cmos error should go away.
Also make sure that the jumper on the pins to clear the cmos settings is in the run position.
Her is the site for your manual:

backup your data and run the system recovery disks.

The only way is to clear the cmos settings. However, there is a special way to do it. First you have to take out the battery and the power adaptor from the laptop. Then you need to open the laptop and look on the main board for the cmos battery. Take it out for a few minutes, maybe 5 - 10 minutes. Then plug in the power adaptor without the cmos battery nor the laptop battery and boot the computer. It will ask you to hit F1 to either load default values or to save settings. Do that. Then shut down the computer. Make sure settings is saved though. Put in back the cmos battery and the laptop battery. When you reboot, it should boot up with no password.
