I have recently bought a computer and set a system password, due to my own bad memory i have forgotten what it is... so deos anyone know how to bypass a system password for a Gateway G6-333c? if so please help me.
 
You need to reset BIOS. There will be a jumper on main board to clear this, refer to user manual for board for assitance.

Another way is to remove battery from main board for 10 minutes or so.

Good Luck
 
thank you, but about the jumper... i know where it is.. but what do i do with it (this was a used computer that didnt come with a manual)
 
You need to remove power cable from PC, there should be three pins two of which are covered by the jumper simply move the jumper across leave for ten seconds move it back and that will reset the bios for you.
