Thread, From PC World (Feb 1999):
Standard BIOS passwords, if you applied a bios password, forgot it, and can't reset your bios, unhook the battery for several hours. If you still need a password, here are several master passwords that sometimes work regardless of the stored password:
AMI, AWARD SW, PASSWORD, CMOS
Case sensitive, so try all caps, all lower, initial caps.
Also, call the hotline/support line for the bios, give them the rev no, and ask how to get in.
This demonstrates how secure a bios password is <G>.
