Lost password - Reset the BIOS

If you have forgotten or lost your BIOS password, prompted at system startup, this page provides, among other things, the method to remove the password request at the very start of the PC (do not confuse with the login password which may appear after the Windows logo).

To begin, please note that the startup password is stored in non-volatile memory, meaning it retains its data even when the PC is turned off. This chip, located on the motherboard, is commonly referred to as the BIOS. There are two ways to reset the BIOS:

Hardware reset
Software reset

Hardware Reset

The goal of this procedure is to reset the BIOS so that it loses any trace of potential passwords or to restore it to working condition in case of a crash. This is done by moving a jumper on the motherboard. The biggest challenge is finding this jumper. Caution: this procedure will also reset other BIOS settings. If you have made modifications, these will need to be configured again.

Step 1: Open your computer case after completely shutting it down and unplugging the power cable. Touch the metal chassis of the case to discharge any static electricity.
Step 2: Check your motherboard documentation to locate the position of the jumper that allows resetting the BIOS. If you have no documentation, look on your motherboard for one of the following inscriptions: CLR BIOS, CLEAR BIOS, CLR CMOS, CLEAR CMOS, RESET BIOS, or RESET CMOS. It is generally found near the motherboard's battery. Note the name of the jumper associated with the inscription. In our example, it is jumper JP4.
Step 3: Find the reset jumper on your motherboard. It is generally also near the battery. If the jumper is on a 3-pin connector, place it across the middle pin and the initially uncovered pin (moving from position pin1-pin2 to pin2-pin3, or vice versa). Wait a second then return the jumper to its original position (pin1-pin2).

If the jumper is on a 2-pin connector and is only across one pin, place it across both, wait a second then replace it in its original position.

Step 4: Reconnect the power cable to your case and start your PC: the password has disappeared.

Software Reset

If the password is only requested in the setup, it may be possible, with certain motherboards, to recover it without having to perform all the above manipulations.

Toshiba

To reset the password of a Toshiba, you can use KeyDisk. If this doesn't work, you can try to build the Toshiba Parallel loopback. To make a simple device that you connect to your parallel port, many Toshiba computers remove the password when you boot it up. The device, named "loopback" by some, could be made out of any parallel wire with 25pins connectors (db25). You should connect these pins: 1-5-10, 2-11, 3-17, 4-12, 6-16, 7-13, 8-14, 9-15, 18-25

I hope I was clear for you, thanks.

Hi,

for Fujitsu, (most of them) there's no point in tinkering, the BIOS is soldered, and there are no jumpers, especially for laptops.

You have to send it back for repair, and whether it's under warranty or not, it's at least €110.

I tried to cry to a technician to get him to show up with his poor floppy disk and ten seconds later unlock the PC... but it's even more expensive...

So Fujitsu laptop owners, just remember that you shouldn't have played with the BIOS passwords... a good "sniff" and pay for the repair service..

Then SELL IT! and buy a brand that can be unlocked without service... like Sony, Asus..

I am not very skilled when it comes to motherboards, BIOS, etc., I prefer settings that can be adjusted on a computer. So for anyone else who is experiencing the same struggle I had, that is to say, I have an old Packard Bell from 2007 running Windows Vista, suddenly and without me changing anything, it's impossible to access my Windows session. I spent 2 days trying to find the BIOS password it was asking me for; it displayed cmos battery low, cmos date/time not set, cmos checksum (I can’t remember the spelling of that one) low, all I could do was press F2, escape, and F1, and that still didn’t make my session appear. So I searched online to see if others had the same problem as me. Someone suggested removing the battery, but when you’re a girl and have no nails, it takes time, it didn’t change much, all it did was make the cmos battery low message disappear. So I searched the forums, and often users said to remove and replace the BIOS battery. So I removed all the screws from my laptop to find that famous battery. I never found the battery, and I didn't want to force the opening of my computer too much; I just pried it open with a screwdriver, but I didn’t force it because I was afraid of breaking everything. Then once all the screws were checked, I turned my computer back on to see if the problem had worsened or not. And finally, when it powered on, I pressed F2 and the BIOS menu appeared, finally saved, so a big thank you to the geniuses of this forum (I’m talking about the users who propose solutions). Because my technician is too expensive for me, and it pissed me off to have to take my computer in for repairs (one day he charged me 117 euros to change the motherboard of my laptop) needing help for a problem I didn’t cause.
