    I FORGOT BIOS PASSWORD


    So lately my laptop has been acting up. I wanted to reset it but "There was a problem... nothing was changed". So, I thought of doing a clean install, that went well until I had to get into BIOS, my BIOS key wasn't working but I was able to find an alternative. Then the current obstacle is that I have a BIOS password and I can't remember it. I tried the code didn't have one I tried removing the cmos battery I was connected to a red and black wire, didn't want to mess with that I thought of the Manufacturer password I couldn't find one for Lenono or even Lenovo model 80XS.HELP ME PLEASE.


    If there is another way I could reset or recover the password,but that would be great. If I can still do the clean install without BIOS, I would be happy to know how. Thank you for your time.

    :)

    I FORGOT BIOS PASSWORD

    Forgot password....

    Um, are we talking about a windows password?

    Lookup a program called Active Password Changer, its a bootable cd that will remove windows passwords *Smile I FORGOT BIOS PASSWORD :)

    If it's a bios password, reset the bios *not so easy with some notebooks*
