I bought a ChemBook laptop which I have installed Ubuntu Linux on. It has an AMI BIOS. There is a password on the BIOS so I can not change its configuration. The laptop does not have a 3.5inch floppy. How do I reset or remove the BIOS password so I can access it and make my own changes and set up my own password?

Removing the battery tends to be a PITA for laptops, so here's some other to try first: Check Here for some methods... maybe one of the backdoor pw will work. Or try CmosPwd | |||

You will need to remove the bios battery on the motherboard and let the capacitors drain before you put the battery back in (give it about 60 seconds or so), this will reset the bios and remove the password. I am not sure how easy this is on that given laptop. | |||

To remove the laptop bios password or hard drive password the best service is www.unlockbiosrecovery.com they are in the USA and have a phone number that people answer. They charge only $20 per master password, much cheaper than Dell without waiting on the phone forever. They guarantee to unlock your bios or hard drive or your money back. They have helped me with over a dozen bios passwords. They service ASUS, Acer, Dell, HP, Compaq, Fujitsu-Siemens, Samsung and Sony laptops. | |||

Pull out the ram. remove the battery on the motherboard. Press and hold the power button down for maybe 30 seconds (with battery and plug removed) and it should clear it. | |||
