Introduction to BIOS Passwords

By
The best method to reset a BIOS password depends on what BIOS the computer has. Common BIOS's include AMI, Award, IBM and Phoenix. Numerous other BIOS's do exist, but these are the most common.

Some BIOS's allow you to require a password be entered before the system will boot. Some BIOS's allow you to require a password to be entered before the BIOS setup may be accessed.

The general categories of solutions to reset a BIOS password are:

* Using a Backdoor BIOS Password
* Resetting the BIOS Password using Software
* Resetting the BIOS Password using Hardware
* Vendor Specific Solutions for resetting the BIOS Password

Using a Backdoor BIOS Password

Some BIOS manufacturers implement a backdoor password. The backdoor password is a BIOS password that works, no matter what the user sets the BIOS password to. These passwords are typically used for testing and maintenance. Manufacturers typically change the backdoor BIOS passwords from time to time.
AMI Backdoor BIOS Passwords

Reported AMI backdoor BIOS passwords include A.M.I., AAAMMMIII, AMI?SW , AMI_SW, BIOS, CONDO, HEWITT RAND, LKWPETER, MI, and PASSWORD.
Award Backdoor BIOS Passwords

One reported Award backdoor BIOS password is eight spaces. Other reported Award backdoor BIOS passwords include 01322222, 589589, 589721, 595595, 598598 , ALFAROME, ALLY, ALLy, aLLY, aLLy, aPAf, award, AWARD PW, AWARD SW, AWARD?SW, AWARD_PW, AWARD_SW, AWKWARD, awkward, BIOSTAR, CONCAT, CONDO, Condo, condo, d8on, djonet, HLT, J256, J262, j262, j322, j332, J64, KDD, LKWPETER, Lkwpeter, PINT, pint, SER, SKY_FOX, SYXZ, syxz, TTPTHA, ZAAAADA, ZAAADA, ZBAAACA, and ZJAAADC.

 A Word document may be easily converted to a PDF file However, what happens if you need to convert a ton of Word files into PDFs? It will take a long time to open every file by hand and save it to PDF.  You may quickly and easily convert large amounts of Word to PDF with the help of this method. And without utilizing any outside tools either. Ms. Word is all you need. Copy the following code into Notepad or Notepad++, then save the file as "PDF.js" in a folder var obj = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject"); var docPath = WScript.Arguments(0); docPath = obj.GetAbsolutePathName(docPath); var pdfPath = docPath.replace(/\.doc[^.]*$/, ".pdf"); var objWord = null; try {     objWord = new ActiveXObject("Word.Application");     objWord.Visible = false;     var objDoc = objWord.Documents.Open(docPath);     var format = 17;     objDoc.SaveAs(pdfPath, format);     objDoc.Close();     WScript.Echo("Saving '" + docPath + "'
