Hi Brandon,
Does anyone know where specs for Award BIOS chips are? I accidentily locked mine and lost the password. Contact Award directly. If you have the data off the tag on the BIOS chip as well as the version data on boot you should be able to get a technical manual for the particular BIOS your computer uses. Note however that these manuals are generaly not cheap, sometimes costing a couple hundred dollars. The reason for the price is that it describes the BIOS to such a deep extent.
Review your motherboard, there is usualy a jumper that allows the BIOS to be reset. The process usualy goes like:
- turn computer off - locate jumper and short with a shorting-block - turn computer on then off - remove the shorting-block - the BIOS should be reset
Don't know if Award has a webpage but you might try www.award.com or one of the search engines.
Thanks for your help [and, to someone else for the default password]. OK, not much of a thankyou, I guess... [The default passwd worked] What is a 'Magic Password'? -Brandon Crosby
