4) type the following lines now exactly as given.......
o 70 10
o 71 20

quit

exit

4) exit from the dos prompt and restart the machine


password protection gone!!!!!!!!!!!!!

EnjoYYYYYYYYYY

PS: I tested this in Award Bios........
There seems to be some issue regarding display drivers on some machines if this is used. Just reinstall the drivers, Everything will be fine...........

I have not found any other trouble if the codes are used.

To be on safe side, just back up your data..........


The use of this code is entirely at ur risk.......... It worked fine for me..........

thanx man. Is there more tutorials on bios which on the safer side can help to update the bios? if so what is the name of the software or can you provide the tutorials.

oh yes for sure.... Will post that very soon... Thanks

I think Hiren's Boot CD has a set of bios related tools, but since I haven't personally tested them, I cant talk on the safety aspect.

will be waiting then @shata1

I went through the list of freeware and shareware programs they offer including the bios sections but didn't really get what i wanted. Thanks anyway for the effort most appreciated.

Well i do that for desktops, you just remove the the cimos battery and the password will be deleted and issue will be solved,

however for laptops there are variety of methods to use in other to achieve this result either by software or hardware,

Hardware Solution I Know

Do you know that you can achieve the result by removing the south bridge on the board and powering the board for like 3 second, connect the south bridge back and walla you are good to go, this method work for some dell , you will need a soldering iron in other to remove the south bridge, you can google your laptop board and find where the south bridge is located on you board

didn't know the removing of the south bridge could do the work like the cimos battery technique on the desktop. can this technique work for Toshiba satellite laptop? @phantom

A trusted friend sent me this reply, he has been repairing laptops for 15 years, i trust this method will work for you

Short-circuiting the chip

Another way to clear the CMOS RAM is to reset it by short circuiting two pins of the BIOS chip for a few seconds. You can do that with a small piece of electric wire or with a bent paper clip. Always make sure that the computer is turned OFF before to try this operation.
Here is a list of EPROM chips that are commonly used in the BIOS industry. You may find similar chips with different names if they are compatible chips made by another brand. If you find the BIOS chip you are working on matches with one of the following you can try to short-circuit the appropriate pins. Be careful, because this operation may damage the chip.

CHIPS P82C206 (square)

Short together pins 12 and 32 (the first and the last pins on the bottom edge of the chip) or pins 74 and 75 (the two pins on the upper left corner).

OPTi F82C206 (rectangular)

Short together pins 3 and 26 (third pin from left side and fifth pin from right side on the bottom edge).

more than glad @phantom will like to know whiles Short-circuiting the chip do i have to turn it on or should i Short-circuit when off then remove the pin before i put it on.
