1.Unplug the computer from the outlet. If you don't you could electrocute yourself or destroy the computer as you reset the BIOS password.
2.Wait 5-10 minutes for the capacitors in the computer to lose its charge.
3.Now open the side of the computer exposing the motherboard. Now, look for the battery on the motherboard. Most batteries will look like a watch or hearing aid battery. Some will look more like a AAA batteries wrapped in plastic though.
4.Once you find the battery look at how it is held on the mother board. Most have a small clip that holds the battery in place. By removing the battery the motherboard loses its ability to hold memory, and rests the BIOS password. If the motherboard battery with a clip that sits on the battery check for a small clip on the side of the battery to slide it out.
5.Using a small screwdriver to slide back any clips and take out the battery.
6.Wait 5 minutes to reset the BIOS password.
7.Replace the battery, put the cover back on and restart the computer. Now the computer should have a cleared BIOS password.
