While the latter two expose a well-defined set of APIs, the former does not. This means, that there is no vendor-neutral universal way of manipulating all the settings, that the setup utility provides.


If your system is running UEFI firmware, it is possible to develop a CLI tool that would allow you to systematically enumerate all BIOS setup questions and available answers to each of them. You can also then use the CLI tool to change the option of a specific setup question.Technically this tool is a HII Parser.Now, what is HII. If you could down the UEFI Specification, it explains the HII in detail. In nutshell the UEFI FW contains HII metadata in a spec defined data structure. and the UEFI FW provides an EFI NVRAM variable that points to the system memory address where the metadata is placed. The Tool (HII Parser) must implement the HII support. With this it can literally act like a BIOS setup utility running on top of your OS.

Later computers would display a message like "No bootable disk found"; some would prompt for a disk to be inserted and a key to be pressed to retry the boot process. A modern BIOS may display nothing or may automatically enter the BIOS configuration utility when the boot process fails.


Later, 386-class computers started integrating the BIOS setup utility in the ROM itself, alongside the BIOS code; these computers usually boot into the BIOS setup utility if a certain key or key combination is pressed, otherwise the BIOS POST and boot process are executed.


A modern BIOS setup utility has a text user interface (TUI) or graphical user interface (GUI) accessed by pressing a certain key on the keyboard when the PC starts. Usually, the key is advertised for short time during the early startup, for example "Press DEL to enter Setup". The actual key depends on specific hardware. Features present in the BIOS setup utility typically include:






As of at least 2015, Apple has removed legacy BIOS support from MacBook Pro computers. As such the BIOS utility no longer supports the legacy option, and prints "Legacy mode not supported on this system". In 2017, Intel announced that it would remove legacy BIOS support by 2020. Since 2019, new Intel platform OEM PCs no longer support the legacy option.


FlashRom is a utility for identifying, reading, writing, verifying and erasing flash chips. Currently the supported hardware includes over 500 chips. I recommend you use a Raspberry Pi with the latest updated version of Raspbian. FlashRom is easy to install using sudo apt-get install flashrom.


You need to copy it out because this temporary folder will be deleted as soon as you close the prior message prompt. After the copy completes, the prompt can be closed and BIOS utility can be cancelled. Next transfer the binary file to the Pi using FTP or a USB flash drive.


In most cases BIOS cores were made by Award Software, American Megatrends Inc. (AMI) or sometimes by Phoenix Technologies. So it's not too complicated to figure out which BIOS update utility you need to flash your BIOS. There are also non commercial tools, like UniFlash and flashrom, which are suitable for all brands of BIOSes.


dude, i have been lookin all ova tha web for a muthafu**in bios password removal tecniq for like a week, tha fuckin jumper tecniq DOES NOT work on a newer laptop. i have a dell d820 and its got tha grey screen askin for a sys/admin password. tha only person thats actually been a help chargers 60 bux for his service, i hear good things about him but theres got to be a free way to get tha code. does anyone kno of a software that u can enter the service tag number and it will generate a code, cus this guy who is sellin his service has it, so its got to be somewhere on tha net.shit like that does not just have one place, its got to be hidden in a million otha places. please someone, quit tellin me to jump tha cmos cus all that does is fry ur motherboard and require u to get a new one. please everyone, just one fuckin website to help me, please


i have a micostar model no MID2020 notebook pc (8640SC) bios is passworded.tried the cmos battery out but did not work.has anyone any ideas to get past the bloody password .any help greatly appreciated .


ok im a novice user but i found the best solution for toshiba laptops with bios password set (and lost obiosly) what i did was remove the cmos battery and let it reset until it ask for the date and time again but very important step when the promp ask you reset defaults or or enter setup do alt ctrl delete and boot using a usb floppy drive with a windows 98 floppy and bingo good to go

 hope this information helps anyone out there with the same problem mssage me for any questions crazy thing is i tried everything hex floppy and parralel key all failed ..


Those of u who r using laptops the cmos battery r of several types and some r with wires u remove the wires and the board is lifeless gound it so it losses all the power and once lost all power it will be reset i dont trust the bios password recovery tool so i used this method to recover the password also jumpers dont exist in laptops they do exist in desktops so dont waste ur tie searching for the jumpers in laptops its a dead end :-( also be very careful replacing or reseting the bios don damage any other components its not too complicated if u have already done it on desktops

Have a nice day :-)

i hope i was helpful


Hi, i am using dell inspiron 1300, whenever i power on the system an error message come which says that there is no boot device. I try to format the system but i am not able to do that since the default boot order menu is internal hard disk, i try to set it to cd drive but it says that it is password protected. I need to remove the password, i follow your instruction to remove the cmos battery, i unplugged the battery from the system board for about an hour, when i start the system again the date and time section load to default but the password protection is still there.


how can i reset bios password in acer laptop aspire 5735.i tried to back door and remove cmos battry and battry its not reset it is same problem. when i go to f2 requried password

pls help me. from doha qatar


Since every BIOS setup utility is different, the specifics on where the boot order options are located varies from computer to computer. The menu option or configuration item might be called Boot Options, Boot, Boot Order, etc. The option may even be located within a general menu like Advanced Options, Advanced BIOS Features, or Other Options.


The flashing utility used to reflash a BIOS CMOS chip with and update can be used to save the current state of the BIOS as a file to a floppy disk if the computer has a floppy disk drive, which most desktop and laptop PCs do not have now. Note that USB floppy disk drives are available, but the device driver have to be installed in order to be able to use one, which is not the case when the BIOS is opened at startup (before Windows can load the driver).


Note that whatever fault caused the BIOS to become corrupt will probably still be present, so if you have saved the BIOS settings with a utility that can do so and you restore them, the fault will probably cause the checksum error to recur and wipe them out again.


I've found Bios 1.35.1, a freeware utility written by Matthias Bockelkamp, to be useful in this respect. You can download this latest version from www.geocities.com/mbockelkamp; once at a DOS prompt, entering the command 'BIOS S' will save the CMOS data to a file named c:\bios.sav, while 'BIOS R' will restore these values when required.


Once your CMOS has returned to its default parameters, you should be able to restore any settings that were previously altered, either by hand if you have a hard copy to refer to, or by using the restore function of a DOS utility like Bios 1.35. This approach can also be used to overcome that most frustrating of situations where your BIOS is protected by a password. I've known a few companies that deliberately prevent their customers gaining access to the BIOS by employing a secret password, to avoid them messing anything up.


Also, make absolutely sure that the file you download is for your particular make, model, and revision of motherboard, since otherwise it may again need retiring to motherboard heaven. Before you start, print out any instructions that accompanied the file, and follow them exactly, step by step. Normally there will be two files involved: the update itself and a flash utility to transfer this data into the BIOS. As you might expect for such a low-level part of the PC, such utilities always have to be run from a DOS command line.


This can be frustrating, particularly in the case of a laptop, where musicians will often benefit from pretty fundamental changes to Power Management and CPU mode settings. Thankfully, all is not lost, since despite the lack of a suitable entry in your BIOS screens, the BIOS chipset will still probably contain the appropriate register, which can instead be directly changed using a suitable utility while running DOS or (more easily) Windows.


The best utility I've discovered that can do this is the freeware WPCREDIT, written by H. Oda, and even if your BIOS includes suitable options, it can sometimes also be used to overclock them beyond the settings on offer. This isn't a recipe for a stable PC unless you really know what you're doing, but sometimes users of specific chipsets will post detailed instructions on enhancing a specific 'hidden' parameter.


TweakBIOS is another freeware utility that lets you alter BIOS settings, this time with a more familiar screen display that mimics that of an Award BIOS. Although this sounds ideal, TweakBIOS has unfortunately not been updated for several years, and therefore sadly doesn't support many modern chipsets. However, if you have an older PC then it's only a 153Kb download.


Even if your BIOS doesn't offer a particular parameter adjustment, you may be able to change its value using a utility like this one.If you find an entry called Spread Spectrum Control it should be left disabled, since although it suppresses electromagnetic interference, it does so by FM modulating the PC clock frequency to spread the interference from a single peak to a flatter curve, and this will slightly compromise timing accuracy (particularly it seems with SCSI devices), along with system performance and stability.
