Forgotten Bios Password on Laptop

[nawabasif]

Hi.

I have a toshiba satellite laptop and i have a bios password preventing unauthorised use of he system. But now the tables have turned. How do i disable the password? Do i have to take out the CMOS battery? Or is there soe other way, some software perhaps?

All advise will be appreciated.

Many Thanks

you have to use a device which conects to printer port. it looks like the printer cable but without the wire. i've seen them on ebay for about between 10 - 20

You may be able to reset it with CmosPwd or KeyDisk. The loopback adapter can be built yourself, the diagram is on this site along with the two software packages mentioned:

If you can find out who makes the bios for the motherboard on your laptop their is usually a super password installed by the bios mfgr for instance the password for award bios in the past was "AWARDS" most bios's have build in super passwords that are built into the cmos chip itself
