Q:
Recovering BIOS password on laptop
Recovery procedures, BIOS password
I have a former employee who managed to set a BIOS password on his laptop before turning it in. I'm getting conflicting advice about how to bypass the password and would rather have to slap a new image on it. Is it really as easy as yanking out the battery?

In general, you'll need to yank the watch battery on the system board itself. This should reset the laptop to bios defaults.

Meant “rather NOT have to slap a new image on it.” Duh. Wish I could edit my question since there’s no preview.
