Whoah, large problem

[old.webbandit]

OK. I havent accessed my BIOS for a year (I had to disable onboard graphics [lol]), and the last time i did i decided to password it, because my brother is a stupid f*ck that likes to go into the regedit and "see what it does". Anyway, i passworded it, and the password is 003110. The problem is now that I want to enter it again I can't type in the password!!!! I press [del] and it says "Enter Current Password:" but whatever I do, no password is entered. So the password times out three times then the PC starts up as normal. Before you ask, my PC manufacturer decided to place plastic protectors over the BIOS reset jumpers that are impossible to remove. The only option is to remove the CMOS battery, but I was wondering if there is any way i can enter the password??? maybe the keyboard controller hadnt initiated?? I dont know. It's AMIBIOS 1.0 (3 years old!) and BIOS password crackers do not work.

ANY HELP AT ALL WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED.

Regards,
Gav

Have you tried both the numlock and the number keys at the top of the keyboard (and is numlock on?).

 

[old.webbandit]

I have turned NumLock on, tried it on the numpad and used the number keys


Thnx anyway m8, much appreciated

I suppose you could always flash it, which should reset it. Course if it all goes tits-up, it was your idea

This may sound gay, but my old bios years ago would work if i entered ******** (just stars) cant remember what bios that was then. i forgot my pass years ago and i basicaly pressed every key/combo/name i could think of till i finaly did that and it worked.
i dunno if that is for a diff bios or whatever tho.

all stars in the password thingy would work no matter what pass i set myself
