Where do you see the processor speed jumping around if you can't get into BIOS? Why are you looking for the battery?

in the system information window, i want to remove the battry so i can reset the bios password. it says, in everest that my bios is 2 years old and to update if necessary, will updating the bios reset the password?

I don't think updating BIOS will reset the password. It will probably ask for the password when you try to install it or try to get in the new BIOS, sorry.

aww no,

dont say that...bugger..

i have tried all them programes to try and get the password, none worked only one i got running was bios300 and it ran and gave me a password, when i entered it is said it was wrong, i endered it perfectly so i didnt mess up there.. and tried like i said the back door passwords, so the only thing left is to reset cmos, removing battery and changein jumpers over then back again... can any1 help with this laptop model

thanks for your replys

I am not really a BIOS update or password recovery expert. Please wait for another member to come along who might be able to help you get your laptop back.

Sorry I can't help you any further.

if there's a bios password and you don't know what it is...how are you able to get into windows to look at system information?

[StaticRed]

the computer starts up, i am using it right now...,, i cant get in to see the bios, that is were it asks for the password, when the computer starts up and i press f2 to go in to bios it asked for a password,

AHA...that's a much better description

[StaticRed]

sorry i didnt make myself clearer the first time..

[dsenette]

absolutely no usefull manuals for your system online..not a single one... the vaio site says to call support for instructions on resetting the PW...

i agree with emory that updating the bios would probably not work as it would probably ask you for the password before letting you...

i know i searched and searched all day to day with no luck,, stupid laptop lol, thanks for taking the time te read and reply to my post, thanks for your help.. will give them a call
