Anyone know how to erase a lost bios password? Will simply shorting the bios
reset jumper do it, or do I need to restart the pc with the jumper in the
reset position?

TIA
 
If machine is bootable you can use the following:
Start a Cmd prompt
Invoke Debug
-o 70 2e
-o 71 FF
-q
*o is the letter O (Octal value), not the numeral Zero.

Very misleading.
The o command stands for output not octal.
The first number (70) is the port number in hexadecimal.
The second number (2e) is the value, also in hexadecimal,
that will be written to the specified port.

Simply follow the instructions provided by the computer's manufacturer.
There are many different BIOS manufacturers, and they use differing
methods.

Why are you asking here? This has nothing to do with the OS!
 
I cant think of an OS that doesn't use a bios, so why not?

Maybe because what he is asking about occurs before the computer even
looks for the OS? The question is out of place here.

By that line of reasoning, since electricity is required in order to run
an OS on a computer, questions about coal fired powerplants are also
acceptable!!!
