In another tech experience i am trying to find an easier way to reset a BIOS PW instead of removing the CMOS or trying millions of backdoor keys that should work and waste time.

This is pertaining towards laptops since there allot harder to reach the CMOS, for some models its easy to get to. But my main question is that has any tech use a certain software to get rid of the PW, i google around for some but i dont trust any of them.

Any help would be much appreciated! :)
 
Hiren's BootCD has a few BIOS password removers. Only sure-fire way though is to clear the CMOS.
 
I binged/googled around and found this list of common pw's.

Thanks for the info, i don't think you can access hirens when theres a bios password. Plus if 3 passwords don't go through then the computer will restart which is a hassle / annoying. I guess the best way is to remove the CMOS.

If there's a BIOS password to access/edit the BIOS, yes you can. If there's a BIOS boot password, then no.
 
if it is a desktop one easy way will be creating a button to send a signal to short the clear cmos so whenever you press the button it will reset the cmos and i think it would be relatively easy to make if you know how to solder and make a jumper-like connector
 
Is this on a Toshiba laptop? If you you might be out of luck all together and have to use the BIOS password reset chip.

Yes i forgot the first one, i generally see boot password protection. As for saxon i am talking about laptops in general.
