Answer 1

Ok, the battery thing is stupid only for persons that don't know what to do, the time problem happen because you take the battery, on your motherboard you will se a jumper with 3 pins that says Clear CMOS (not all the motherboards have the text so you can search for the manual), move the jumper to take te last and the middle pins, push power, no response, move the jumper to the original position and that's it, no more password on the Bios.

If you have XP and forgot your user password restart the computer and press F8 and you will see a menu with start in secure mode, choose it and you will be able to enter like admin without password, change the password or remove it, and re-start

Answer 2

The first thing to look for is a jumper to 'Clear CMOS' on the motherboard or in it's manual.

If there is none, simply remove the battery. Most computers come equipped with a battery very similar to a watch battery.

If you have an older model it may be a cylinder shaped battery soldered on board. If that's the case, do not try to unsolder it and re-solder it unless you are a real expert at doing this because if you're not it is VERY likely that you'll damage the board. The simpler solution in this case is to short the battery for half a second. You just need to take a metal object and make it touch both pins of the battery at the same time. This is far safer than it seems!

Answer 3

If you can't find the jumper to flash the BIOS or if such jumper doesn't exist, you can remove the battery that keeps the BIOS memory alive. It's a button-size battery somewhere on the motherboard (on elder computers the battery could be a small, typically blue, cylinder soldered to the motherboard, but usually has a jumper on its side to disconnect it, otherwise you'll have to unsolder it and then solder it back). Take it away for 15-30 minutes or more, then put it back and the data contained into the BIOS memory should be volatilized. I'd suggest you to remove it for about one hour to be sure, because if you put it back when the data aren't erased yet you'll have to wait more time, as you've never removed it. If at first it doesn't work, try to remove the battery overnight.
