so we
have a thread that a few people have stumbled upon trying to reset their
laptop bios passwords, i figured we should make a dedicated thread as
to attempt to make it easier to find.
*note this also clears CMOS
1. enter an incorrect password 3 times on your laptop and it will say
"system disabled" and provide a five digit code, write this down as it
will be used to unlock your laptop.
2. download Unlock6 on another computer, it can be found HERE
3. install unlock6
4. open cmd (start -> run -> type "cmd")
5. change directories to the folder where unlock 6 was installed
(default C:\\Swsetup\\Unlock6) so you would type in "cd
C:\\swsetup\\unlock6"
6. type "unlock6 xxxxx 0" (xxxxx being the code from step 1)
your laptop should now be unlocked, if you have any trouble running the program let me know (the other thread
http://www.overclock.net/laptops-not...ord-reset.html people running 64 bit operating systems had trouble doing this) post here and i will be happy to run the program for you.
Note: This only works for HPs and Compaq
