How to Reset Laptop BIOS Password?

Have you forgotten your laptop's BIOS password. Want to know how do you go about recovering it ?

The Laptop’s BIOS password can be reset in the same way a desktop’s BIOS password is reset.

Go through the following steps:

1. Switch off your laptop.

2. Remove the power cord.

3. Remove the battery pack.

4. Read the laptop’s service manual to figure out from where the CMOS jumper is accessible.

5. Open the laptop’s plastic chassis and short the CMOS jumper for 5-15sexonds, for additional instructions refer the laptop’s manual.

If you cannot find a CMOS jumper then you can remove the CMOS battery for 15-60 seconds and reset the password. However removing the CMOS battery will reset all settings so you’ll need to enter the BIOS menu and load the default settings once you’re done with the reset.

The CMOS battery should look somewhat like the image below:
