Hello,

I am currently working on a Packard Bell netbook, model DOT SC 001FR.

There are several issues, including Windows not starting anymore and being unable to perform a restoration.

Therefore, I am forced to do a reinstallation using a bootable USB drive (there is no CD drive on the computer).

The problem is accessing the BIOS (to change the boot order), which is locked by a password that I do not know.

Of course, neither the seller nor the manufacturer has a password to provide me.

Does anyone know the default BIOS password (the owner of the computer does not remember setting a password on the BIOS).

Thank you in advance.

There's no default password, the owner set it, sorry.

Hello,

Other than that, no help can be provided to recover a password.
The requester may be acting in good faith (and their good faith is unprovable) but the solutions provided can then be misused for hacking!
