Good one Larry.
There are enough programs you can find to retrieve passwords if you do some googling.
Also you always can erase the whole bios by ..... whoops, is it really for your PC's or are you trying to enter in some other ones ? (school ... daddy's .... whoever's PC ? ....)
Do some goog'ling, what you ask can easily be used for illegal activities, nope, I won't help you out here.

another suggestion is to update your BIOS (even if its the same version)
there is a chance that my suggestion will result in a dead computer if the BIOS update fails.

Nope Thunderdog, he is right.
The older system batteries are soldered on the mainboard.
On the old boards you need to shortcut 2 pins on your bios chip or there is a special jumper mark'd with .... jerk? he says jerk?
So that we certainly will not in any way hurt your feelings?
Make a list of things you can't take .
I'm 51, so when you have make YOUR list I'll make mine, and we will ask at every member on this board to do also, all the forbidden sayings, all that possibly could hurt ANYONE.
This is a board on internet larry, if you can't take something stay away and crawl under a stone.
You can say what you want here, as far as i can know your father is alive and kicking, or dead. Do you want a list about the close ones I lost in 51 years?
Jerk he says ..... good luck with your bios, the jerk won't help you further.

Larry Laffer, nobody knew ur father was dead we are sorry about your loss.
I also lost my grandma due to cancer but I dont brag about it.
Dosraider. That is NOT a good way to start a flamewar.
As for your problem Larry. Dosraiders solution is practical but seeing you have issues with removing the battery I can suggest trying the following method
How do I clear BIOS password?
To clear the CMOS password, you have a put a jumper cap on jumper CPW.
Once this is done, put a jumper cap on CPW pin header, the system will erase the CMOS password on bootup and will normally not ask you again for the password.

Also it would help to tell us the brand of the bios too

If you can't take out the system battery or can't find the appropiate jumpers scroll the whole way down on the paged link.
You can find there progs to retrieve passwords.
Better so Wally?
I strongly advise against updating an older bios(486 ....), they are pre-flash, usually you become a stone dead PC. Even if they can be updated it's tricky stuff, you must really know what you are doing, believe me.
yes I know Franpa, as usual you only posted what you think... that's your problem, you think much and know very little.
Sorry Wally
