I heard about a universal password [code] to access computer bios. I forgot the password for bios on my pc and can't get in. It is a Compaq Presario 2200, and was manufactured in August of 2004.
yes it’s called removing the cmos battery for about 10 minutes so it resets
I don’t know about any Universal password but you can reset your "cmos" (complementary oxide semiconductor) that stores and displays your "bios " basic input and output system) information which includes your password. Open your computer and look for something that looks like a big watch battery. This "cmos" battery stores you’re hardware information after you turn off your computer so that when you turn it back on your computer know what it is doing. Find the battery take it out and reboot your computer four or five times then put the battery back in. Let you computer start with a clean slate. I can’t say for a certainty that it will work in you computer but i have done to two computers with success both times.
