Don't clear the CMOS of your Notebook, because it will not reset any BIOS-Boot password or BIOS-Setup password! Notebooks have better theft protections like an additional (tiny, hidden) IC-integrated module that contains the password. Some manufacturers store the password on a hidden hard disk sector. So, the only solution is a direct contact to the manufacturer's support, where they proof that you are the legal owner of the notebook. Depending on the manufacturer, you have to send him the serial number of the notebook and you'll get (in many cases free of charge) an individual master password to unlock the notebook. Some other manufacturers even offer only the replacement of the notebook's mainboard - which will be really expensive!

If you have forgotten your BIOS Boot-Password, have a look into your mainboard manual, or after opening your PC, onto your mainboard. Many mainboards have a JUMPER or SWITCH to clear the CMOS. This Jumper is often named like: 'RTC_CLEAR' , 'CLEAR CMOS' , 'CLRCMOS' , 'CLRCMS'. His position is often near by the mainboard battery.

Attention: All hardware settings (harddisk-, bootsequence,-...settings) will be deleted! At least, you have to re-insert them again.

EEPROM on laptops

On laptops, the password is usually stored in an eeprom on the motherboard and not in the cmos. You need an eeprom programmer/eeprom reader (electronic device) to retrieve the password.If you erase the cmos (ie. cmospwd /k) and if the password is really stored in an eeprom, you won't be able to boot anymore.

You can get/buy eeprom programmer in electronic shops or labs, you need another PC to use it.You can desolder the eeprom with hot air or you can try to 'clip' the eeprom. With the eeprom programmer, backup your eeprom and run cmospwd /d /l eeprom_backup. If you don't see the password, you can tryto fill the eeprom with zero or FF, don't forget the reset the cmos.

Toshiba

Phoenix Bios Master Password List

• To reset the password of a very old Toshiba, you can use KeyDisk.
• If the keydisk doesn't work, you can try to build the Toshiba Parallel loopback.

To make a simple device that you connect to your parallel port, a lot of Toshiba computers remove the password when you boot it up. The device, named 'loopback' by some, could be made out of any parallell wire with 25pins connectors (db25). You should connect these pins: 1-5-10, 2-11, 3-17, 4-12, 6-16, 7-13, 8-14, 9-15, 18-25
