    Help!!!!!!!!!!!

    I set a power-up password on my notebook and now I am locked out, because the password isn't what I wanted to put in.
    Does anybody know if taking the BIOS battery out might work?
    What else is to know to reset the password?
    Thank you in advance!

    P.S. It is well MY OWN notebook

    Only proper thing to recommend is contact manufacturer. Any other discussion on this is considered unacceptable in this forum by the Administrators. Sorry.

    Thread closed since any discussion related the bypassing security measures is forbidden by the forum rules.

    As PP mentioned, contact the manufacturer for assistance.

    Also do not you bring up this topic up again.
