Another BIOS hack
ok another way to hack BIOS passwords w/o resetting everything and if you are alone and have 5-10 minutes is... (i will post my entire guide)
1. Shut down computer
2. Flip switch on power supply to off
3. Remove all wires
4. Remove pins on case
5. Open case
6. Find anything that says something about ?BIOS?
7. Find (Normal 1-2, Config 2-3)
8. Remove jumper pin from 1-2
9. Put jumper on 2-3
10. Reconnect keyboard, monitor, and power cord wires ONLY (only used items)
11. Put case back on (optional)
12. Put pins back on (optional)
13. Flip switch on power supply to on
14. Boot computer
15. (Computer will automatically go to BIOS setup, and display an otherwise inaccessible page, where an option is to ?Remove all passwords?, press enter when this item is highlighted, and again to OK it)
16. Save configuration
17. Shut down computer
18. Flip switch on power supply to off
19. Remove keyboard, monitor, and power cord wires
20. Remove pins on case (if you did step 12)
21. Remove case (if you did step 11)
22. Find something that says ?BIOS? again
23. Take jumper pin off of Config 2-3
24. Put jumper pin on Normal 1-2
25. Put case back on
26. Put pins back in
27. Reconnect all wires
28. Flip switch on power supply to on
29. Boot computer
This should sucessfully override BIOS w/o having to delete all settings... it is only tested so far on desktops, on a Intel D845PESV with BIOS version P04, dated 10/20/02.
