    The BIOS password is stored on a security chip that is soldered onto the board. The only way you can get rid of it is to replace the chip (requires professional help), find a password reset dongle (or make one, if such a thing is even available for your model) or find a master password (There isn't one on a lot of laptops these days...).

    Search the forum for your answers or google it, but because of the strict policies we have here regarding piracy and theft, this thread is locked.
