There are several methods to remove a forgotten BIOS password on a PC, but the specific steps will depend on the make and model of your computer. Here are some general methods that may apply:
  1. Use the default password: Some computer manufacturers set a default password that can be used to access the BIOS. You can try searching online for the default password for your specific make and model.
  2. Remove the CMOS battery: The CMOS battery is a small battery that powers the BIOS settings. Removing the battery for a few minutes and then reinserting it can reset the BIOS password. This can vary depending on the make and model of your computer so you may need to refer to the computer's documentation for specific instructions.
  3. Use a backdoor password: Some computer manufacturers set a backdoor password that can be used to access the BIOS. You can try searching online for the backdoor password for your specific make and model.
  4. Jumper trick: Some motherboards have jumper that can be used to reset the BIOS password. The location of the jumper can vary depending on the make and model of your computer so you may need to refer to the computer's documentation for specific instructions.
  5. Professional help: If none of the above methods work, you may need to take your computer to a professional technician who can remove the password for you.

It's important to note that the above methods may vary depending on the specific make and model of your computer, so you may have to refer to your computer's documentation for specific instructions. Additionally, some of the steps above may void the warranty of the device, so you should be careful if the device is under warranty.

Here are some common methods to remove a forgotten BIOS password:
  1. Use the default password: Some manufacturers have default passwords that can be used to access the BIOS. Try searching online for the default password for your specific make and model of computer.
  2. Remove the CMOS battery: The CMOS battery maintains the BIOS settings, including the password. Removing the battery for 10-15 minutes should reset the BIOS to its default settings and remove the password.
  3. Use a jumper on the motherboard: Some motherboards have a jumper that can be used to reset the BIOS. The location and name of the jumper will vary depending on the motherboard, so consult the manual or the manufacturer's website for specific instructions.
  4. Contact the manufacturer: If none of the above methods work, you may need to contact the manufacturer for further assistance. They may be able to provide a master password or a method for resetting the password.

Note: These methods may vary depending on the make and model of your computer, so it's important to consult the manual or the manufacturer's website for specific instructions. If you're not comfortable opening the computer case or working with hardware, it's best to seek the help of a professional.
