overkill
Many/most motherboards have a BIOS password reset.
It is a jumper setting on the motherboard, generally you move the jumper that is on it so that it crosses the pins and reboot. No other settings are changed. Sometimes it is shows pwd, or pd, or pset. You may need to check the motherboard manual for the position of the jumper, or contact the manufacturer to find out where the jumper is. Some manufacturers (Dell) can supply you the password, as they have some algorythm they can use can give you the password.
