    Hello everyone,

    I own a compal QAL51 notebook and I forgot the bios password. I tried in so many ways to recover it, but without success. I've tried the crisis recovery, reflash the bios changing some parameters like clearcmos=1 and password=1 but it did not solved the problem. I can't access the bios to change some parameters in EFI to install others OS like linux. Is there any way that I can reset it?


    Thanks in advance.


    Best regards.

    Discussing how to bypass passwords and other security measures isn't allowed in the forum rules, so I have to close this thread.
