Hi Mahla

Many thanks for your quick response.
How can i make a BIOS password without knowing the current password? Sorry for asking like a noob... ;-)

Thanks,
mik

You are welcome are you a laptop repairman?

I was many years ago - but today, not really - IT professional, yes, but - meanwhile in SAP business with my company (www.arlati.ch)... so, I am familiar with computer hardware very well, but when I try to backup the BIOS, it asks me for the current BIOS password. So, is there another way to take the backup without providing the current password?

And I am not in a mood to disassemble this laptop and freaking around with programming some chips and so on. Life is too short... ;-)

Thanks,
mik

Please send a photo of the password screen.
in some cases, we could help you remove the password without disassembling the laptop.

I just disassembled it, removed cmos battery and main battery, pressed power button for 1min, left the laptop for 15mins. Result: Time and Date lost, all Settings reset to default. So far so good. But, the BIOS password still exists. Any idea?

 

[arlati]

Got the BIOS dump after some tricks...

 

[Ahmad Kor]

could you send the 16mb backup?

 

[arlati]

Sure!

Wow - that was quick! Many thanks! But... how can I write this ROM to the Bios now? Which tool would you recommend?

 

[Ahmad Kor]

You are welcome
You may use a programmer device for example TNM5000, SVOD3

Hi Mahla

Sorry for late response. Still waiting for my Chip Programmer Set - I get back to you, as soon as I destroyed, uhm FIXED I meant, my laptop.
Hope it will work as expected...
