Reset BIOS to default

2024 Views 1 Reply 2 Participants Last post by  Terrister
my younger brother changed the BIOS password unwittingly and now, i am unable to access the PC. It's been nothing but total frustration for the past few days as i search the Net for answers.

Came across solutions involving jumpers and disconnecting the batteries but owing to my incompetence with hardware et al, i dare not attempt to murder the PC.

Is there any software or secret moves i can attempt to reset the BIOS to default settings? I own a Compaq Presario 100P (sorry, thats about the only info i remember as im unable to log in)

Kind souls...please help. Thanks in advance! :sayyes:

I don't know of any way to do this other than the jumper or removing the battery.

You could try to contact Compaq and see if they have a secret password that works.
