Toshiba Satellite C660 clearing CMOS

[Andrei-Florin Gogan]

Hello guys, I want to clear the CMOS on a Toshiba C660, Do I have to use copper wires to reset it from the motherboard or simple metal tweezers are enough? I'm a bit lazy to open it all and take out the battery since the CMOS is right under the RAM sticks and very easy to access. Thanks a lot

This is the video I have seen and came over here to ask if it is necessary to use copper wires like he did or just simple metal tweezers would do the trick...

Hi, since no moderator answered my warning, it seems removing the password on a laptop is alright in this case, to the OP, anything who can conduct electricity will do to remove the password.

Thank you very much, it was not for a forgotten password, I just wanted to do it after a full dissasembly.
