1 you can see your main board manual if you have bios reset jumper. 2 you can take off the bios battery to reset the bios (some motherboards does not have removable battery) 3 you can boot it with a dos floppy and try some of the bios cracking programs. The efficiency of those programs are depending on your bios version though. If you have a very new bios then you may have a bad luck on finding a working program. I would prefer the first 2 choices because with them you can save time. williamdwoods@etrademail.com wrote: > > This is sort-of-related to FreeBSD. Back when I was ultra-security-paranoid and running FreeBSD on an older system, I set a bios password on my box. Months later, I need to go into bios to turn on PNP bacause I am giving the system to a charity ( I got a bigger better system), but I seem to have forgotten the BIOS password :(.... > > Any ideas around this? > > William > > ********************************************************* > Our funds have Star Power.
