You've turned this computer on and there it is! The irritating BIOS password! Or probably, you were being cautious and put a password on but now now you've forgotten it. Bad bad. But what to do now?

Okay, so the thirty seconds start now. Open the sheet covering the motherboard and search for a small round battery located on it. It is the BIOS/CMOS battery. Remove it for like five seconds and place it back in.

Guess what.

The password is no more there! :D
