Forgot Bios Password - Sony Vaio PCG-FX290 Laptop

I have no idea how to open the Bios (F2 on start-up) as I forgot the Bios
Password. I tried to find some help at the Sony Support site, but have not
been able to succeed.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

Remove the bios-battery from the mainboard, wait a few minutes and the
re-insert it.

You will be able to access your BIOS again, but all settings are gone.

Actually the settings won't be *gone* It will revert to default settings
which should allow you to boot, etc. You will have to update the settings if
you ever changed any from the default settings.

Okay, sorry, that's what I meant

I have the same problem with accessing the BIOS on my Compaq Presario 1685.

Is the same solution recommended for the Presario (removing the BIOS battery for
a few minutes)? Is there no button or jumper on the motherboard to push?

Peter F.

 

There is usually a jumper, labeled CMOS reset or something similar, but it's
easier to just remove and replace the battery. BTW, be sure the computer is
not plugged in when you do so. Just pull the AC cord while you
remove/replace the battery, then plug it back in.
