Are you technical enough to dis-assemble and clear the Cmos? If it is in fact your laptop, you can always go with the procedure above.
Most modern laptops do not succumb to the clear CMOS method as it is held in a security chip as is the case on the XE3. You would actually have to desolder the chip from the motherboard and replace it with one that has no password.
They all have a Clear CMOS feature but it is only with that and a combination of another process that you CAN clear ANY CMOS.......
I was ref. to password protected Bios notebooks/laptops in my previous msg.
Please explain further, many would like to hear this method as this is a common problem with security chips
If you are capable check it out and giddy up........

Notice the point where he mentions"First, locate and remove the smd chip" which has nothing to do with clearing the CMOS. The smd chip is the security chip where the password is held. The CMOS chip is where the BIOS program is held. Two different chips altogether.
That article also mentions the clear CMOS method as a non starter as it doesn't work. The author also went on to reprogram the chip(which requires another piece of hardware) which is not for the uninitiated.
ERGO the chip needs replacement in most cases.

Laptop w/ software emulation works. Software does everything provided you have a valid flash image to write with... Its not some "Special emulator" piece of hardware. You asked, I shared. There are multiple ways by shorting, clearing, etc technically on most Mobo's... Every manufacturer is different. And YES< I concur that this task is lengthy not to mention intricate....But you could always RMA the mobo and get a new one of the same to save yourself the headache of performing this task.... Where there's a will, there's a way..... IMO
I don't think you're getting the point,you don't short or clear a security chip. It is not the CMOS. The reason is because the security chip is an eeprom and cannot be accessed while in the motherboard without a password once one is on it.. You either remove it and replace it or remove it and reprogram it.
This site provides a service to replace the chip.

Of course you can. EVERY Chip has the potential for re-program.
No, you're still not getting it.
Why do you think its so hard to do, its security. Its not supposed to be easy.
And shorting or reprogramming a security chip won't get you there as there are subroutines written into the program that will disable it. Read that article closely, the author was trying to find the password, not write a new one to the EEPROM.

Sparks, we are getting away from the reason we are here..... For the Author<== Im not going to go back and forth on this nor am I questioning your knowledge or technical/professional level. I'm stating a fact.
1) I certainly understand this is a security feature therefore making it difficult to "Work around".
2) How do you think that Chip/EEPROM got its code to begin with to function the way its intended? Prgrammed somehow !
3) I simply showed an example method of one of many ways to do this. I know every method for didfferent chips isnt always going to work, but the "theory" is the same.
Bump the subject.....

The problem is that you must temper the methods which you advocate with a dose of reality.
We can all make any suggestions we like in this forum but we also need use common sense as to what is a proper solution. As long as you advocate this method, I will advocate not using it, as it isn't likely to work.
Theory is just that, theory. Practicality on the other hand is a much better tool to use.

There is still such a thing as a PROM... could be hard-coded...
