Question:
I have two pc's at work that need rebuilding. Both of them need the first boot sequence changing to the a: drive so that I can insert the rebuild disk. Unfortunately, the BIOS settings are password protected and I don't know the password.
I believe that there is possibly a way to reset the BIOS password by doing something to the motherboard? Could anyone offer me any advice on this and how to do it please?
Answers:
You need to short the BIOS reset jumper. Check the motherboard's manual for it's location but be aware you'll lose everything in the BIOS, not just the password.
