Re: BIOS Password
If you have the floppy drive . either the media bay unit or a usb unit
Boot into dos and run "KillCMOS"

It will wipe the bios clean

Re: BIOS Password
There are programs that you can use off a floppy, but someone will have to chime in as I have never used one (never had to). I have always used the battery removal with success, but have never tried on a CF-29. I have heard rumors that the battery pull would not work on some of the newer models, but I cannot confirm that.
One CF-52, four CF-18's, 4.5 CF-28's, one CF-29, five CF-M34's, two CF-37's, one CF-P2 and two CF-P1's. There are also two Getac A320T's, one Fieldpac and two IBM Transnotes. Not to mention the AMD 5600 CPU with three monitors and several HP PDA's. Whew! Must quit buying...no, must have MORE! Then there are the weapons...

Re: BIOS Password
Killcomos didnt work, after I reboot from killcmos, it goes to a screen that says, Error, System CMOS checksum bad
Default configuration used
Press F2 to setup and when I hit f2 it goes right back to enter password
What do you think

Re: BIOS Password
As tough as this laptop bios is to get into I am beginning to wonder what is the benefit to getting into the bios anyway

Re: BIOS Password
My way that hasn't failed yet:
1. Remove ALL power (batteries, MB Battery, AC Power, Solar Power, Wind Power, Hydro power, fart power, etc)
2. Remove Hard Drive/Caddy
3. Unplug CMOS battery
4. Cycle power switch 2-3 times for 1-2 seconds each (discharges board)
5. Plug in AC power
6. Boot up a few times to BIOS
7. Unplug AC
8. Cycle power switch 2-3 times for 1-2 seconds each
9. Reconnect CMOS and boot up
If for some reason that does not work, then repeat to step 8 and then leave off overnight. 9 out of 10 times though it works.
