If you cant get the password reset you can always pull the battery and reset the bios. Its not pretty but it works every time. Most mobo's require you to move a reset jumper for about 3 seconds then move it back. I have found some mobo's that wont reset unless you pull the battery too.

Beware if you do this all settings in the bios will be reset to factory defaults.

The members of TechRepublic - A Resource for IT Professionals, will not assist anyone in the recovery of lost passwords. You may have a legitimate reason to recover 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 issues should be taken up with Microsoft's technical support, Phoenix BIOS password recovery issues should be taken up with Phoenix Technologies, etc..

[b]So you need to contact the Hardware maker for a solution here and be prepared to submit proof of purchase as it will be required to prove to them that this isn't a stolen unit.
