These protection methods range from password protecting files and folders or encrypting files, folders and drives. Of course, if you want to bring your protection to a whole new level, you could password protect your PC with an account password, and lock your PC with a BIOS password to safeguard data on a PC. The problem with a password is that it is, well, a password, and we sometimes tend to forget them. This is perfectly normal, especially if you haven’t accessed your BIOS in a while, or if you use a different password for every single thing.
How can I recover my own BIOS password in windows 10?
1. Reset your BIOS by removing the CMOS battery
You will get a warning telling you that the BIOS date is not set, which is a clear sign that it was reset, and that there is no password anymore
2. Remove BIOS password using an MS-DOS Command
You will first have to enter your computer in MS-DOS mode: While in MS-DOS mode, a black dialogue box of cmd will turn up with a C:WINDOWS> prompt Next time you will try to access the BIOS settings, you won’t be asked about a password anymore
3. Reset your BIOS password with a backdoor password
If for some reason your CMOS battery cannot be removed, or you aren’t too sure of yourself using the Command Prompt, your only choice is to use a backdoor password. This password is especially built-in by the computer’s manufacturer and is generally not known by most users.
While it won’t give you the exact password, the ones generated will be close enough that you will surely remember the right one
