    Default bios password

    i trying to format, get rid of partitions and install xp on my pc but i cant get into the bios as it needs a password which was installed by the company who sold the pc (who no longer exist). is there any way round this so that i can get into it?

    thanks
    i used to be indecisive, but now i'm not so sure

    Have a look on the motherboard there may be a jumper near the cmos battery or cmos chip swap the jumper over power on for a second or two then change back.

    If not you will need a bios flash.

    Download KillCMOS from here, this will remove the BIOS password for you.
