bios password unlocked

Last year one of the missus workmates who is terrible with anything electronic managed to put a bios lock on the missus acer aspire lappy.
I tried all the backdoor software and passwords but none of it worked and she ended up buying a new one as some walloper at her work told her it was "impossible" to get round a bios lock on a new lappy.

We were at party last night and i met the guy who claims to be very good with pcs but i got a distinct whiff of bullshit from him at some of the things he said.
He was adamant that a bios lock cannot be removed from a lappy so i decided to see if he was full of it.

So i started today armed with a tin opener a crowbar, ky jelly and 2 bottles of merrydown.
I usually dont like messing around with lappys as they are ball busting but i had nothing to loose if a bricked it.
An hour later and bits and more bits all over the place i finally got it stripped and got the motherboard out.
I located the cmos battery which as expected was soldered to the board.
So i had a quick fiddle with it and then the + trminal broke off so i dug out the soldering gear and left it for an hour with the batt off.

I soldered it back on and started re assembling it again which wasnt as painfull as i thought although i did have a few screws extra at the end but am sure they are just spares.roud:

So i fired her up and held ma breath,,,nothing appeared on the screen but it was powering up ok.
It stayed black so i powered it off and checked all the cards and stuff were seated right.
They seemed ok but i banged the ram into a different slot just incase.

Take 2,,powered up and stayed black but i could hear some clunky noises and then the wee black cursor appeared and it wasnt flickering.
I expected the password sign to appear but then up came the boot logo and it loaded up vista with no problem.
So it was jumper over the head time and bottle in the air as i ran round the living room shouting "Charlie your a wan***,Charlie your a wan+++,na na na na, na na na na".

To make sure i booted it another few times after puling the power on it and all is well.
The missus wasnt impressed with Charlies diagnosis or with ma drunken gloating and constant reminder that she owes me a perverse sexual act now.

So if you have a bios locked lappy and someone tells you its "impossible" to unlock it, tell them to go and boil there head as a half drunk guy on DW done it with ky jelly and a crowbar.

As for Charlie the compooter expert,,yer a fud and you haven't got a clue what yer on about.
How can a so called expert never have heard of DW?
Enough said really...

Nice one hoppy M8 and your right about Charlie, think he needs the big W of the year award.

Mate, Charlie had no chance. as soon as I read the Merrydown was unleashed. He was doomed to receive a GTRFUY
