BIOS Password can be cleared by CMOS reset, but you would have to crack it open to get to CMOS battery.
Link below is a tutorial for Bios Reset HP / Dell BIOS Password
Windows Password can be force changed with a bootable USB thumb drive with a Windows Password Recovery Tool using a Linux Distro. I am guessing you dont have a CD or DVD drive, so you will have to create a bootable USB drive with the password reset tool. OR reinstall Windows via External CD or DVD Drive and software or create a bootable thumb drive of say 8GB in size with the OEM disk copied to that drive if it allows with piracy protection maybe not allowing OEM CD or DVD to be copied to another drive.
Hi, a friend's got a laptop that he got left with when his work went bust a few years ago and he wants to give it to someone to use for some community organization but he can't remember the windows password that was given to him at the time. I've found a live CD to boot from to force reset the windows XP password but I can't get it to boot from the CD as the BIOS boots from the HD first and has an administrator password on it to prevent changing the boot order
Do you think you would be able to help me with a BIOS administrator password?

Thank you so much! We've spent a few hours taking the thing apart and removing the BIOS battery to no effect and this has worked straight away. You're a life saver, it's really appreciated
Just got a used D630 with locked bios with service tag #GP72LF1-595B can anyone please help? I'm stuck!
I'm also from US don't know if that makes a difference!?
Really appreciate any help, I too took it apart at work and left bios battery out until next day, but no change.
