Very helpful info, I know my bios password. It is the Windows xp user log on that appears. I have no recollection of every setting up such password as I am the only user.
I cannot get into my windows OS to disable log on screen. I don’t know my user name. I tried leaving password blank, then tried ‘administrator’ as user name and it says ‘disabled contact administrator’. I AM THE ADMINISTRATOR for goodness sake. So I contacted me now what, HA!

Wow, Sony Vaio PCG-R505GL, got at yardsale. BIOS is password protected. ONLY Sony customer service can help. Called them last night. They want $49.99 AND a faxed copy of a Proof of Purchase. I told them that I purchased this unit at yardsale and don’t have a true “purchase receipt”. They told me that it would be impossible, due to security reasons, to help me without receipt. On this laptop (and many other newer laptops), removing CMOS battery has NO effect on removing passwords AT ALL! You can NOT FLASH the BIOS to remove the password either. The system will NOT boot to CD or floppy or USB. What I have read is that Sony IS capable of generating a MASTER PASSWORD (after you pay) that is associated with your laptop’s serial number. So this is more of a complaint than anything….SONY, in it’s great wisdom, has completely forgotten that MANY, MANY laptops are discarded at second-hand stores, flea markets, and donated as “old and useless” all the time. But these laptops are still useful to many of us who can’t afford a brand new unit. So although it’s great for Sony to capture $49.99 to recover a lost password and make a computer USEFUL, they have NO WAY (that I know) of initiating some kind of TRANSFER of laptops program when we, the general public, comes across a second-hand laptop. FORGET the THIEVES, they are a very small part and WE shouldn’t have to live our lives based on criminals. How about a little REAL HELP for the decent people? ~just my thoughts~

Let me just get this one straight for you all people ,first of all if you dealing with a computer laptop Don`t remove the Battery please that don`t work only thing that really works is replacing the bios chip which cost $29.99 That is for anyone having a administrator password setup in the bios system.,other option which do work with some models but not all of them is downloading the bios from HP,Dell,etc then create a boot disk written in dos system and restart your computer off the floppy disk.
Now for those that have other message that says this computer system is protected by a password authentication system. you cannot access the data on this computer without the correct password .
That password has been setup in the bios system but that one will work just fine if you replace your current Hard Drive with a new one,Just make sure you press keys >F2 or F12,F10.for the boot menu then chose DVD Rom.
Althought flashing your bios that Can be very dangerously sometimes.,if you don`t have a password on your bios plz don`t flash your bios you just really mess up.
I am a PC Technician and deal with those problems in a daily basics. ok
Good Luck…………..
For desktop computers those are really easy to clear your bios,just remove the jumper near the batter for about 3 or 5 seconds bingo you`re done……….okie ,dokei

i have a lenovo r61 thinkpad notebook. Someone has put in a bios password on it (i am sure of that as when i went to get it removed they said that they will have to replace the motherboard). Kindly tell me what the backdoor password is? i tried ‘merlin’ but i don’t think it works completely. my email address is “piyushahuja1991@gmail.com”

if you are trying to cut the time down on draining the battery then after removing the battery push the POWER button and u should c the lights flicker continue to hold for 6 minutes and then reconnect the battery.
