This is something that visitors to my BIOS unlock pages seem to be attracted to.
How to reset a BIOS password.
The way that you do this is to clear the data from the CMOS storage chip in your computer. Many desktop motherboards have jumpers to allow this to be done, laptops often require that you know what pins on the motherboard to short.
Unlocking a computers BIOS is not the same thing as unlocking the BIOS that has been password protected and that password had been forgotten. However, the BIOS settings are stored in the same CMOS as the system BIOS password. So, if you are unable to boot your computer the BIOS needs to be unlocked.
