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>.
