    Hi,

    I forgot my BIOS Password and wondered if there is a possibility to reset the BIOS again to remove the BIOS password?

    Thanks a lot.

    You can try pulling the CMOS battery, leaving it disconnected for about 15 minutes, but it may not clear it.

    It unfortunately didn't help. I removed it for the whole night (also the RAM), but the password is still there :/.


    Edit: Okay even updating the BIOS didn't bring me the solution :(

    Sorry, no password hacking tips permitted here:
    And, of course, if a simply reset or bios flash would've been sufficient then this security measure would be pretty much useless.
