drummerkvn really need help with laptop bios password.......? - drummerkvn ok so i bought a laptop off ebay and need to reset the bios password cause i obviously dont know it. its an HP Pavilion N5425 laptop. I've tried to get to the cmos battery but i cant figure out how to get to all the screws because some are under the lcd hinge. PLZ HELP!!!!!!!!!
Best Answer: try popping out the keyboard or looking in the ram spot - bennollan
There's no point trying to get to the probably soldered in CMOS battery because removing it won't reset the password (which is stored in non-volatile memory that will keep its contents even if power is lost). To get it reset you'll have to contact the manufacturer, pay them a fee and provide them with proof that you own the laptop. Which considering you've probably just bought stolen property is going to be pretty damn hard to do. - bestonnet_00
