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 must first disconnect your PC from any power source.

  • If you are using a laptop, this includes removing the battery

  • Remove your PC’s cover, and locate the CMOS battery

  • Remove the battery

  • Press the power button for around 10 seconds

  • Put the CMOS battery back in place

  • Put the cover back, or reassemble the laptop

  • Boot the PC

  • If you are using a laptop, this includes removing the 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:

  • Reboot your PC
  • Enter the Boot menu
  • Choose Safe Mode with Command Prompt

While in MS-DOS mode,  a black dialogue box of cmd will turn up with a C:WINDOWS> prompt

  • Type in Debug
  • Hit Enter
  • Enter the following command given below and press Enter:
  • debug
  • o70 2E
  • o71 FF
  • quit
  • Type in Exit, and hit Enter
  • Reboot your PC

Next time you will try to access the BIOS settings, you won’t be asked about a password anymore

  • debug
  • o70 2E
  • o71 FF
  • quit

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.

  • Boot your PC

  • Try to access the Boot Menu and intentionally type in the wrong BIOS password 3 times

  • This will force your PC to go into a lockdown mode along with a System disabled message paired with a code

  • Note the code down

  • Go to bios-pw.org/ and enter the code

  • Press Get Password

  • The website will generate passwords similar to the one you used

  • This will force your PC to go into a lockdown mode along with a System disabled message paired with a code

While it won’t give you the exact password, the ones generated will be close enough that you will surely remember the right one
