We, the members of TechRepublic – A Resource for IT Professionals, will not assist anyone in the recovery/removal of lost passwords. You may have a legitimate reason to recover/remove a password. However, we cannot verify your motives and will therefore not assist anyone in what may be an attempt at gaining unauthorized access to a computer system. Due to the open nature of this forum, any assistance given to help circumvent security measures, even for legitimate purposes, would be available for unscrupulous individuals to use for illegitimate purposes. This is a risk that we, the members of TechRepublic, will not take. Please do not ask questions of this nature on TechRepublic.

If you have a legitimate need to circumvent a password scheme, please contact the vendor for the software / hardware and request their assistance. E.g. Windows XP password recovery/removal issues should be taken up with Microsoft’s technical support, Phoenix BIOS password recovery/removal issues should be taken up with Phoenix Technologies, hard drive password recovery/removal should be taken up with the manufacturer of the hard drive, etc…

Or You did not “save and exit” to save the settings in the bios. Try with your old password.

Of which is near. Just download the manual and read through it, it will show you in detail how to do it, you have to buy the manual though.

Now, y’know – telling PORKIES is just not the way to save face when you know yourself to be well and truly trounced.

Next time you post, try to do it BEFORE re-watching the original version of Shaft again.

telling secrets to pigs is a good way to keep secrets while indulging the insatiable need to tell.

Thanks, OM. Wouldn’t have thought of it myself. 😉

Seemed a sensible retort that carried a double whammy …

Hoped the message got out!! 😉
