How to bypass BIOS password protection?

Here are some methods to bypass your BIOS password if you forget them.

1st Method

To protect your computer from friends and unknown people, we usually set a BIOS password so that no one can start and harm our system. But what if we itself forget our password. This can be a big problem as we can't even format the system. So how to bypass BIOS password to start our operating system if we forget it.

Here is the process to bypass your BIOS password when you forget it. It requires you to do some hardware changes. Your system consists of a battery which stores the information of your CMOS (BIOS) like date and time , BIOS passwords , some hardware details etc. So to bypass

BIOS password what you have to do is :

1. TURN OFF your computer.

2. Remove the battery.

3. Start the computer without Battery.

4 Again TURN OFF your computer.

5. Insert the Battery and start the computer.

Now you will not be asked to enter the BIOS password. This happens because when you remove your battery it gets reset to default settings. Thus when you insert it again it doesn't have any stored information about password and starts normally.

-q hit enter

exit hit enter

Restart the computer. Now you will not be asked for BIOS password, the operating system starts without any interruption. It does not work on every BIOS manufacturer. It works on most versions of the AWARD BIOS.
