You haven't a clue what you're talking about, much less the inner workings
of a PC and the CMOS (BIOS) settings.
That method has been the de-facto standard for longer than that.

To bypass the bios password you'll need to take the cmos battery out for 10
seconds then put it back in again.
Note two points:
1. How long the battery has to be out varies substantially from
computer to computer. It's often more than 10 seconds, sometimes as
much as 15 minutes or even longer.
2 He doesn't necessarily *need* to do that. Although that works, there
is often also a motherboard jumper that can be used to reset the BIOS.

You do realise the most likely outcome of starting an arguement with an
idiot is that they will drag you down to their level, where they can easily
beat you with experience?

Point remains that the advice was bollox. Removing the CMOS battery is
pants advice and a waste of time.

Do a google (try "latitude" "BIOS" "password") and you'll see you're

Don't need to. I've been inside enough computers and mobos to know the
difference. Besides, how could you tell, you didn't even know when you were
being insulted. Better yet, get an electronics background (35+ yrs) before
you go shooting your mouth off about things you know nothing about.
Sure, out of all the responders you're the *only* one that is
right...bollox!

You are certainly right Robert. This is one of those deals where experience

Look bud, you won't solve a BIOS password lockout by removing the CMOS
battery - certainly not on a Dell Latitude laptop that's less than 10
years old, end of story. I take it you didn't bother doing even a brief
google search?

I don't suppose you followed the advice of the resident quacks and tried
removing the CMOS battery? *LOL*
Please report back if you did (ie. tell the pricks it DIDN'T work).

If its really a bios password then one find free bios cleaners using
google.

Look guys - usually a "routine" BIOS password can be "removed" by removing
the battery - or checking documentation regarding changing pin settings on
the System Board (mobos, motherboards are archiac terms)to clear BIOS.
However the BIOS password can be "burned" in to the BIOS - in which case you
are out of luck.

The Manufacturers password for a Dell used to be "dell".........this would
bypass the user password and enable you to enter the BIOS.
I dont really know if it still is...I dont have a Dell anymore..........but
its worth a shot.
