There are many different ways to remove the BIOS password. You may have forgotten the password of your BIOS . Sometimes it becomes necessary to access the BIOS to change system settings.

OK so how to get back or remove the password

1>The simplest way to remove the BIOS password is to remove the CMOS battery for few seconds. because computer uses this battery to remember its settings and date & time when your computer is turned off.

The CMOS battery is the reason why you always get the correct date and time whenever you restart your PC.So When you remove it from your CPU the computer will forget all the settings which includes BIOS password too.doneSo to reset/ remove your BIOS password you just have to remove this battery once and then put it back after few seconds. (i have tried this many times)

If you don’t know how to do this or if you are not familiar with computer hardware dont try the above trick

you can try using this software - PC CMOS Cleaner

srinathmithra.blogspot.com:Delete An "undeletable" File

Open a Command Prompt window and leave it open.
Close all open programs.
Click Start, Run and enter TASKMGR.EXE
Go to the Processes tab and End Process on Explorer.exe.
Leave Task Manager open.
Go back to the Command Prompt window and change to the directory the AVI (or other undeletable file) is located in.
At the command prompt type DEL where is the file you wish to delete.
Go back to Task Manager, click File, New Task and enter EXPLORER.EXE to restart the GUI shell.
Close Task Manager.


Or you can try this

Open Notepad.exe

Click File>Save As..>

locate the folder where ur undeletable file is

Choose 'All files' from the file type box

click once on the file u wanna delete so its name appears in the 'filename' box

put a " at the start and end of the filename
(the filename should have the extension of the undeletable file so it will overwrite it)

click save,

It should ask u to overwrite the existing file, choose yes and u can delete it as normal


Here's a manual way of doing it. I'll take this off once you put into your first post zain.

1. Start
2. Run
3. Type: command
4. To move into a directory type: cd c:\*** (The stars stand for your folder)
5. If you cannot access the folder because it has spaces for example Program Files or Kazaa Lite folder you have to do the following. instead of typing in the full folder name only take the first 6 letters then put a ~ and then 1 without spaces. Example: cd c:\progra~1\kazaal~1
6. Once your in the folder the non-deletable file it in type in dir - a list will come up with everything inside.
7. Now to delete the file type in del ***.bmp, txt, jpg, avi, etc... And if the file name has spaces you would use the special 1st 6 letters followed by a ~ and a 1 rule. Example: if your file name was bad file.bmp you would type once in the specific folder thorugh command, del badfil~1.bmp and your file should be gone. Make sure to type in the correct extension.
