Hello everyone,
I lost my password and it's a cmos password. Now
everytime i turn on my computer, it says "enter Current
password". can you help me to recover my password or
bypass it so i can get to window.
Thank you,

If you set the password in the bios, the only thing you can do is clear the
cmos. Usually this is done with a jumper on the motherboard. Check your
computer/motherboard manual on how to clear it. I have no idea what this
does to an existing windows install, if anything.

Calvin;
Turn off and unplug your computer, take the battery out for a couple of
minutes, put the battery back in. Plug your computer back in, turn it on and be
prepared to re-enter the BIOS settings. Hopefully you have these settings
written down somewhere. Probably where you saved your password. ) Your
password should be gone though
