Give the following list a go, come back if you still have problems:


  • AMI
  • Award
  • bios
  • setup
  • cmos
  • concat
  • AMI_SW (case sensitive)
  • AMI!SW/
  • AMI?SW/
  • j262

Since the bios is now password protected you need to try and clear cmos to reset the bios and the password so you can get in and edit it, or if needs be replace the cmos chip since you cant clear the password via battery removal or jumping the cmos reset pins.

Right, I gave him some general passwords for bios so, if that doesn't work I can walk him through that, but first he can go through my list, which would be alot easier.

If you read the bottom it said

Just a note guys, most laptops cannot have the password bypassed with any of the above backdoor-entries. The laptop passwords are stored on a seperatechip, and clearing CMOS or removing the battery will not work to get rid of them.
