1) Remove the BIOS battery to completely reset to default configuration, including no password for BIOS. Wait for a few seconds, reinstall the battery and then reboot. In some motherboards the CMOS battery is soldered, which makes it difficult to remove the battery. Others use flash memory. In this case we will use another method.
Make sure to turn the PC off before opening the cabinet, before removing the BIOS Battery, and before moving jumpers!
2) Using the Motherboard Jumper:
Almost all motherboards contain a jumper that can clear all CMOS settings along with the BIOS password. The location of this jumper varies depending upon the motherboard brand. You should read your motherboard manual to check its location.
If you don't have the manual then look for the jumpers near the CMOS battery. Most of the manufacturer's label the jumper as CLR, CLEAR, CLEAR CMOS, etc.
When you find the jumper, look carefully. There will be 3 pins and the jumper will be joining the center pin to either left or right pin. Remove the jumper and join the center pin to the opposite pin. e.g. if the jumper joins center pin to left pin, then remove it and join center pin to right pin. Now wait for a few seconds and then again return the jumper to the previous position.
3) Using Software:
I have found that BIOS/CMOS Password Recovery Tool is most effective. This is a program that works instantly to remove a lost or forgotten BIOS/CMOS password. If you can boot your PC to DOS then execute the program, and get access to forgotten BIOS/CMOS passwords in just seconds.
