I have tried that following your advice.<br />
it reset the BIOS config but not the removal of the password<br />
<br />
held down for 5 seconds - test failed<br />
held down for 20 seconds - test failed<br />
<br />
I noticed next to the cmos reset button there was a jumper named &quot;PSWD&quot; which is connected.<br />
<br />
i removed the jumper, then tried the cmos button again. - no luck<br />
<br />
Any ideas please?? :-)<br />

just a guess - was there another pin next to the pswd jumper? if there was take the jumper from pins 1&amp; 2 and put on pins 2 &amp;&nbsp;3, while doing this make sure you push the power button a few times to completely drain all power from the lappy.<br />

Hi,<br />
<br />
We have a HP desktop machnie dc7600. with the bios password set. (some monkey forgot to record it)<br />
<br />
Is there a way of resetting the CMOS or BIOS in anyway to remove this password?<br />
<br />
<br />
Thanks!<br />

A personal computer is a general-purpose computer whose size, capabilities and price make it useful for individuals, and is intended to be operated directly by an end-user with no intervening computer time-sharing models that allowed systems to be used by many people, usually at the same time. Personal computers may be connected to a local area network (LAN), either by a cable or a wireless connection, and through that to the Internet. A personal computer may be a laptop computer or a desktop computer running an operating system such as Windows, Linux or Macintosh OS.

Hardware includes cell phones and other digital living devices, tablets, computers, servers, peripherals and components, printers and scanners, gaming consoles, networking hardware such as routers, hubs, switches and modems, storage devices and security equipment such as firewalls and other appliances.
