How Do I Remove Setup Password
« on: November 01, 2007, 10:41 PM »

Hi N'landers, I need help with reseting a computer's password. I bought it used and in trying to reset the password, I removed the CMOS battery and replaced it, that didnt work. I then removed the jumper maybe that'll work too but it did not. After then I tried laoding my hard disk but noticed that the boot sequence has changed. I can't install and I can't change the setup. Please how can I remove the password???

pheesayor,

Removing the computer's CMOS battery resets the BIOS settings, I assume that the system in question is a desktop. Make sure the battery is out for lets say 3-5 minutes. Then replace it and your BIOS settings would have been reset.

Just boot the system on safe mode

After that:

click start
click cONTROL PANEL
click  user  accounts

click  on the administrator account

From there, you can see delete password for this user.

Hi guys, am a new member.
i have encountered this problem of recent and a friend of mine who helped me in purchasing the system (P3) said i should enter 0000000 or 1111111 (7 zeros or ones).
Reply me if it works.
Peace.
