Guest Smues Report post Posted March 23, 2002 Ok so I was stupid and when I bought my laptop they were sold out so I had to settle for the display model, and it works fine, but they sorta forgot to tell me that they put a BIOS password on it. It's not set up so you need the password to boot up, but I really need to get into the bios now. Don't supposed anyone knows some tricks to get around a BIOS password.

Guest areacode212 Report post Posted March 23, 2002 Hmm. On some Dell desktops, there's a little thingie you can remove from some pins that will disable the BIOS password. Laptops are probably a bit trickier. Can't you just go back to the store and ask them for the pw? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted March 23, 2002 hmm,sounds like youbought a stolen laptop and can't figure the shit out. I know cause that has been brough to me a few times. Try taking out the board battery and the main battery for like 6 hours, then back on,it should reset the bios. There are other ways but I am to lazy to look for you,sorry --Rob Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Smues Report post Posted March 23, 2002 It's not stolen I bought it legit at Costco back in August, I just didn't realize till a while after I bought it that they forgot to get rid of the bios password, and I doubt they'd even have it now(unless they just use one pw for all the display computers). I'll give them a call and see if they have it I guess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
