Dear fellow enthusiasts,
I have a laptop with locked BIOS. Tried to bypass it through the hardware, but due to limited time and experience, failed. Send it to tech, he said need to get new rom, probably order from dealer who got parts from China, quoted RM230. Just to know whether I am being duped. Any opinion/view is highly appreciated.  |

QUOTE(nebula87 @ Apr 26 2016, 03:46 PM) first time heard laptop need new rom to reset BIOS password... Tried this myself, but no effect, I thought may be I did it wrong (not very familiar with laptop motherboard).http://www.wikihow.com/Reset-a-BIOS-Password can this link help you?  Texted the tech regarding this, he said he tried it too, but nothing happened as well, because the rom is encrypted. |
