    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!

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