"Try CmosPwd from http://www.cgsecuritydotorg/

If that doesn't work, there's sometimes a 'backdoor' password built in to the BIOS. Try BIOS, CMOS, phoenix, PHOENIX.

Finally, there might be a BIOS reset button or jumper on the motherboard. Or take the CMOS battery out for a while."

"BIOS' sometimes have backdoor passwords. Some that may have been used for a Pheonix bios include: BIOS, CMOS, phoenix, and PHOENIX

Alternatively, you could open the computer and remove the CMOS battery, as well as physically unplug the computer, then wait a minute. This should reset the BIOS to factory defaults."
