on the motherboard you will see a chip marked cmos it is near the battery if fitted very near this are little pins x3 there will be a block over two pins simply lift this and place over the opposite pin for a few seconds bridging middle pin and replace to its normal position you should remove battery after for a few seconds as well. this will reset the cmos and sometimes the password
cmos?
If you mean cmd or cml then you do this:
Open up command prompt
type net user (This shows all the users on this PC)
type net user (Username without brackets) * (New pass)
Should look like:
net user Fred * Bkushdhsaf
You could probably remove the cmos battery for a period of time to see if that resets it.
Reset the CMOS on the motherboard, that should clear all data set in the BIOS. Apart from that, you can't "hack" the bios password. Don't hack anyway. It is bad and a serious offence.
If it's a desktop computer and you forgot the BIOS power-on password, you can reset the BIOS by closing the "cmos reset" jumper on the motherboard.
yes it is stored in CMOS
The CMOS is a physical part of the motherboard: it is a memory chip that houses setting configurations and is powered by the on board battery.
All bios passwords are set by users, either by accident or on purpose. In the case of the IBM T60 and almost all password-protected laptops, it is NOT possible to reset the password through a jumper configuration, or taking the CMOS battery out. The only two methods of resetting the password: 1. Call up the laptop manufacturer, with the serial number of the machine, and proof of purchase. You will then be given a machine-specific supervisor password to unlock your machine. 2. If you have no proof of purchase for any reason, OR your machine can not be verified as legit, the bank on the best part of $200 to get it unlocked. In extreme cases, a new motherboard has to be installed.
how to clear computer motherboards cmos passwords
Modern PCs store the CMOS password in the CMOS memory itself.
Most CMOS allow the administrator to add or edit a supervisor password. Enter your CMOS using whichever key your motherboard needs to open the CMOS (this will be displayed on the first screen of bootup), then find the general settings tab or a name similar and press enter on the password field. After that, enter your password and when you boot to your CMOS it will ask for your password.
Re set your CMOS on your mother board. Fined your mother board's tipe and fined the tech PDF for your board. On most board's the JPT1 Jumper will clear your CMOS.

Complementary metal--oxide--semiconductor
There are three ways to clear the CMOS on a computer. You can access the BIOS menu and reset the BIOS settings, you can use the motherboard jumper or clear it by reseating the CMOS battery.
These settings are stored in the computer's BIOS. Sometimes it is also referred to as CMOS.
Your hard drive is assessable thru CMOS without a password
cmos setup removed password
It depends on whether the password is for Windows or for CMOS. If it's for Windows then check the link I have attached to this page if it's for CMOS then you're going to need to check your computer's documentation for a motherboard jumper. All a jumper is, is a little piece of plastic that covers two metal spikes that stick up off the motherboard. When you remove this or change the orientation of it then it will clear the CMOS password and this will allow you to enter BIOS Set-up. -XombieJer
