Hi,

I was in the process of reinstalling windows 7 on my computer, and I had to bypass the BIOS password in order to change the boot order. I used the cmospwd program to kill the cmos on my laptop, and now it wont start unless I put the BIOS password, and Ive had this laptop for 9 years and I can't remember it. Im stuck on the bootup screen forever now. If anybody knows a solution, please help me.
 
I'm sorry, but if you check the forum rules you will see that discussions of bypassing passwords is not allowed here. I suggest that you contact the manufacturer for help.
