finding a password
I have a computer that is asking for a password to the bios although I have never given one to it. I lost the hard drive and bought a new one when I installed it I needed to change the bois setting for it I cannot get into it to do the change and I can't seem to find anyway to override the password protection. Is there anyway to get at it. The origional owner died last year and I bought the computer from his estate. So is it scrape or is there a way to get around this?

Password
All of the computers I've worked on have a BIOS password override jumper on the motherboard. You need to find the manual for the motherboard and find this jumper. Putting this jumper on clears the CMOS and passwords. If you don't have the manual try this website, it has some tricks that just might help.
