Hack Your BIOS
Saturday, 26 May 2007
BIOS is an acronym for Basic Input Output System.BIOS refers to the firmware code run on PC when first powered on. The primary function of the BIOS is to prepare the machine so other software programs stored on various media (such as hard drives, floppies, and CDs) can load, execute, and assume control of the PC. This process is known as booting up.

BIOS can also said to be a coded program embedded on a chip that recognizes and controls various devices that make up the PC.

To enter the BIOS program, hit the "Delete" key before your computer boots up.If successful,you will be taken to a menu which would be similar to as one given below.

Sometimes ,in order to prevent unauthorised access,the BIOS menu is password protected.(See the righthand side column in the above photo)When a password is set,the BIOS settings can only be accessed by authorised access.

But what if you lose this password and want to change some BIOS settings?No need to worry,this password can easily be hacked.

All BIOS settings are stored in the memory even after the computer is switched off.This is done by a small battery which is placed on your motherboard.
Since the BIOS password is a part of BIOS setting,it is stored in memory by this battery.

To hack the BIOS password-->

1.Switch off your PC.
2.Open your computer cabinet.
3.Locate the battery on motherboard and carefully remove it.(ALL BIOS SETTINGS ARE LOST)
4.Re-insert the battery.(ALL BIOS settings are reset)
5.Switch on the PC.

When you try to access the BIOS menu,you won't be prompted for a password.
