1998 GP6 450 Forgot BIOS log on password......

Forum Windows 95/98/ME : General Discussion 1998 GP6 450 Forgot BIOS log on password......

I have a GP6 450 Dated 12/30/98. I forgot the BIOS log on password. I have many old family photos on the computer and I can't get in.....Can I bypass the password to get the machine to complete its BOOT-UP?

Register or log in to remove.

It is trivial to reset the BIOS password; just reset the BIOS. . .

We can't provide information regarding BIOS password reset because we can not verify proof of ownership.
If PC is yours and you need files off the HDD you can remove the HDD and access it from another system.

Not to mention it only takes a couple of minutes on your favorite search engine to learn how to reset the BIOS. . .

The Bios password does not reset when you reset the bios. Even taking out the battery does not help. On my old IBM Thinkpad the only fix was to replace the bios chip. I scraped the laptop and bought a new one. I'll never set a fracken bios password again.

I believe he's referring to the BIOS password, not the Win account password.

Admin/moderator,
please be aware that due to a deleted message that was quoted, this thread is stuck as active in my 'threads' column. Apparently it is a bug in the system. If not fixable, please close the thread. Thanks.

 

Edit: nevermind, adding this comment seems to have "unstuck" it.
Closing this thread would still be a reasonable suggestion, though.
