I am trying to enter system setup but can't remember my password. Is there a way to reset the password?

    Hi rockinbob55

     

    I'd like to thank to fellow ACE, Vince53 for the following advice:

     

    It is usually impossible to get into a computer that has a lost BIOS password.

     

    SOMETIMES, this method works.  Reboot your laptop, and when prompted for a password, guess three times. A screen will appear telling you that your system is disabled, and it will give you a code. Write down the code and go to http://bios-pw.com/ . This site will give you a BIOS password that MIGHT work. Reboot and enter the new password.

     

    Hope this helps!

    Thanks for the info. I have not tried this yet. I will let you know the result when I do.

    Well, it's not guaranteed to work, but good luck!
