i have forgotten bios password.. plz tell th process to recover or reset tht password.. i have tried to remove tht battery for 2min and then insert .. but no help./ still password asking..
 
there will a jumper (3 pin) named "clear bios" nearby the battery are. Just look in the mobo manual. short them according to the manual and Bios will be reset to its default value !
 
If you are not using windows 7, you can use this to reset bios password.
1. Go to command prompt. Use the debug command.
2. enter 70 17
3. enter o 71 17
4. enter q

Done.
You will need administrative rights to do the above.

It wont work in windows 7 though. debug command has been removed. So try resetting CMOS.

A. By Using the Motherboard Jumper:

In most motherboards CMOS battery is soldered, which makes it difficult to remove the battery. In this case we use another method.

Almost all motherboards contain a jumper that can clear all CMOS settings along with the BIOS password. The location of this jumper varies depending upon the motherboard brand. You should read your motherboard manual to check its location. If you don't have the manual then look for the jumpers near the CMOS battery. Most of the manufacturer label the jumper as CLR, CLEAR, CLEAR CMOS, etc.

When you find the jumper, look carefully. There will be 3 pins and the jumper will be joining the center pin to either left or right pin. What you need to do, is remove the jumper and join the center pin to the opposite pin. e.g. if the jumper joins center pin to left pin, then remove it and join center pin to right pin. Now wait for a few seconds and then again remove the jumper and join the center pin to left pin.

Make sure to turn the PC off before opening the cabinet and resetting the jumper.

B. By Using Software:

I have found that BIOS/CMOS Password Recovery Tool is the most effective.:

BIOS/CMOS Password Recovery Tool is a program that works instantly to remove any lost or forgotten BIOS/CMOS password. Simply boot your PC to DOS and execute the program, and get access to forgotten BIOS/CMOS passwords in just seconds

I have never seen a CMOS battery soldered to a motherboard.
 
Well most of the times these tricks works:

- Remove the mobo bios battery for 30mins

- REset the jumper position (if the battery trick doesnt work)

- If none of these works.. try to flash the bios firmware with the latest one or so..

...yeah waiting for 1 hour was stupid lol.. infact it gets done even within less than 30 mins :P
 
does clearing the bios result in an overclocked cpu reverting to its original stock speed?
