what exactly did you want to go and do in BIOS environment? Tell us so that we can suggest another way out if at all the password didn't remove.

Please, let us know.

u dont need to reset ur BIOS if all you wanna do is add another hard drive & dvd writer. all u have to do is slave them to the original ones.
if u already have a hard drive, then connect the new one to the old ones (remove the jumper entirely to make it a slave to the old one)
then do the same for the dvd writer but have it in mind that for this to work, u must be using both the primary & secondary ports on ur motherboard

Thanks Oxone, i luv Nland. How I wish I can add Y'all on my buddy list or my facebook.
Re: How Do I Reset My Bios Setup by zenithprof(m): 8:04pm On Feb 02, 2010
@oxone the suggestion u have made is quite good but bear it in mind that if the bIOS did not detect both the hard drive and Dvd writer, there is no way the system can communicate with it.the best is to make sure that the bios detect it .try use some software to remove the passworded bios
Re: How Do I Reset My Bios Setup by Oxone(m): 8:00am On Feb 03, 2010
D bios wil automatically detect it whether passworded or not
Re: How Do I Reset My Bios Setup by zenithprof(m): 10:46am On Feb 03, 2010
my friend not all bios does that it depend on the manufacturer, there are some that detect automatically and there are some u have to manually press a particular key on the keyboard like f3 or something but like i noted initially it all depend on the bios maker what they have programmed.
