How do I clear a bios password? I asked someone to do a factory reset ,and now it's asking for a bios password.
The owner should be able to provide it. Always pop back and let us know the outcome - thanks
He never set a password on it, he doesn't know how it got there
A BIOS passwords on a laptop is a security measure and is not easily removed. If it were easy it would serve no purpose. Normally manufacturers aid is necessary and they usually only do this for the original owner.
Passwords do not set themselves. Invariably when setting a password you have to enter it twice to check you haven't made a typing error. There is no way that can happen accidentally.. BIOS Passwords are not set by a factory reset. the always default to blank.
