I bought 2 MPC Transport X1000 and is BIOS/CMOS locked. I disasembled and unplug the 2 mini batteries and let them unpluged for 24 hrs , I assmbled back and still asking for the password... The IT guys in my office told me that thos ecomputers the cmos password can't be reset, i have to replace the bios chip, is he right? Thanks Please help

FIRST, WHY DO YOU WANT TO? Altering the BIOS is like taking a stroll in a minefield, one wrong step and........ That said, Is your computer running OK? Is there some issue you are trying to resolve? If you are asking for a "how to" , I assume you have never done it before. That's not a "pond you want to jump in", without checking how "deep the water is". I would advise you to rethink, and rethink the rethink. Have you looked on the laptop Makers website for a BIOS flash? Only use the laptop manufacturers website for BIOS updates/flash.

BIOS passwords can be reset or removed in two ways:

1. using software 2. using hardware.

I would first try resetting or removing using software, here are two software apps to reset or retrieve BIOS passwords.

!BIOS - is a PC BIOS toolkit offering password removal/decrypt and BIOS settings modification/backup/restore.
You can download it here:

CmosPwd - Cmos password recovery tools

You will need to create a bootable Dos, or Linux or NT cd in order to run them.

Good Luck!

Dear Sir,

To remove password in your BIOS

1. Turn off your PC ang remove power cable
2. Open your PC Casing and find the CMOS battery
3. Remove CMOS Battery Located in your Motherboard
4. Most Bios Battery is CR2032 Lithium Battery
5. After removing battery Short circuit the Positive (+) and Negative (-) pin in your bios terminals using a metallic screw or any metal to connect both terminal.
6. Put back the CMOS battery to its original location.
7. Turn on your pc and press F2 or delete depending on your Motherboard BIOS key.
8. Check if you can enter the BIOS settings.

Hope this will help,
Markus

There is no specific unlock code that you can use to bypass this password but I would suggest that you first try and clear the password and then call the manufacture if that dose not work and they should be able to help you. I have attached a link to a tutorial on how to bypass this type of password.

I hope this helped.

Thank you,

Remove the power laed, battery and cmos battery for 24 hrs. It will then reset to no password.

try to find a small batery inside netbook you find-it behind keybord or nerby cpu. you disconnect baterry about 10min. ALL THIS PROCEDURE WITHOUT BATERY AND MAIN CHANGER.

Note: All user bios config, are reset. You must config again.

I just purchased a used MPC x1000 and encountered the same problem. Here's what I did:

First, turn on PC and press F1 to enter CMOS.
Go to the Security tab. There you will see Supervisor and User Password fields. Change the Supervisor password, then the User fields can be changed. Then, save and exit.

If, when your o/s boots, the screen asks for password or touch fingerprint pad, go for the password option by pressing ctrl/alt/del.
If that won't let you in, there's a bypass tab that you can select. I clicked on that tab and went right into Windows no prob. Then, the TouchPad options menu appeared so I could set up security as I choose.

Good luck

the best way to remove a bios password is to have the bios reset by a program called "winternals" this can be done by any pc repair shop

The new mpc support site is back online at http://www.mpcdrivers.com
Mpc notebooks have a bios password ability. Once that password is set, you cannot log into the pc without it. The only method is to have a repair shop replace the bios chip with a new one.
There is no password utility that will bypass this.
