Forgotten bios password
Can anyone help?
I would consider myself an expert on computers but not an all star. I think my computer has been infected with some malware, virus, whatever.
First symptom: it doesn't boot up in this order, cd/DVD rom then hard drive. By default, and if not, I always enable this because its common sense for me. Now the boot up sequence has changed - strange
Second symptom: I've used many passwords and I do cycle them and time to time I change. I've tried 90% of all possible passwords that I may have used....no dice
Third symptom: I used to reset to default install done per quarterly in a year. I missed one quarter. My system right now is unstable. Before it would boot up in less than a minute. Now it takes 5 minutes - strange
So my problem: I want to re-instal to factory default but can't because since the boot sequence is changed, I cannot type the proper password to change boot up to CDROM. Please help
Edit: some reason, it did boot up to CDROM and started the recovery process. However, when it asked me to partition my hard disk, the capacity mentioned on the screen said 0.0 gb. That to me is strange so I clicked on cancel; thinking that maybe the virus or whatever it is has reside itself in the 0 boot sector part. I still need help
