We often lose and forget passwords. Including passwords to access your own PC. Fortunately, you can "reset" such a password without reinstalling the operating system. Let's look at the option of accessing your PC using the example of a BIOS password.
Necessary
A BIOS password is one of the most popular ways to protect your computer from external tampering. To reset the BIOS password, you need a thin screwdriver
Instructions
Step 1
BIOS settings are contained in CMOS memory (low-speed, battery-powered memory). In order to clear CMOS, you need to turn off the computer and install a jumper - it will close the jumper contacts.
Step 2
Turn on your PC - it won't boot, but the CMOS settings will be knocked out.
Step 3
Remove the jumper and turn on the computer again. On your monitor, you will see an announcement asking you to press F1 to perform a new BIOS setup.
Step 4
If you are quite satisfied with the default settings - then press F1, in the BIOS menu, click on the "Save and exit" option. After that, your computer will boot completely. If you have special wishes - set your own settings and after that select the "Save and exit" option.
