Bios password recover

If your computer won’t boot without a password or you need a password to enter the computer set-up or change the settings, then you have a BIOS password set. BIOS is an acronym for basic input/output system. The BIOS is the basic instruction set that “teaches” the computer how to access disk drives, keyboard, display, etc. The BIOS is typically placed on a ROM chip in the computer, hence the term ROM BIOS. The ROM BIOS allows the computer to boot itself. The BIOS is required to boot the computer. Thus, if the BIOS is password protected, the computer will not boot (or you will not be able to enter or change the BIOS settings.)

There are a number of different BIOS types, but most PC’s have a BIOS supplied by one of four companies: American Megatrends, Inc. (AMI), Award, Inc., Phoenix Technologies, Inc. or IBM. Award Software became part of Phoenix Technologies in September 1998 – their main website is the Phoenix Technologies site.

Additional security features have been built into laptop computers. These usually include a hard disk password and a more secure BIOS system. For more information about laptop BIOS passwords, review our security chips page here.

BIOS passwords can be set to require the password before booting the computer or to require the password only to enter and/or change the BIOS set-up (which might be required in order to upgrade the computer.)

RECOVERY IF YOU CAN BOOT THE SYSTEM
If you can boot the system, BIOS password recovery is usually easy. The first thing you will want to do is to use a BIOS password cracker to recover the actual password. There are a large number of BIOS password crackers available from a variety of sources. Some BIOS crackers only work with certain BIOS versions and some work better than others. You may have to try a number of crackers before you find one that works.
Some BIOS’ have pre-installed backdoor passwords that enable access to the system if you have lost or forgotten your password. Attempting to regain access to the computer by using one of the following backdoor passwords should be your first step if you have lost or forgotten your BIOS password and cannot boot your computer. If you are able to regain access to your system by using a backdoor password, you can then use a password cracker to reveal the stored password or enter the BIOS setup to change the password. These backdoors are more likely to work on older desktop systems. We are not aware of any name brand laptops or notebooks that have backdoor BIOS passwords.

At boot-up note the BIOS provider (Award, AMI, Phoenix, IBM, etc.)
