Just got a call from a friend whose all-in-one desktop took a dump on the hard drive. The hard drive randomly clicks on startup and won't load windows so I think it's dead. Anyway, I got another person to go take a look at her computer and well... the BIOS is locked too. We were going to try Hirens boot CD to see if that hard drive would come back to life or at least get something off it even though most of the important stuff on there (e.g. photos and typed documents) have been backed up to an external HDD recently.
This PC is like an iMac where it's all in a thin slab. A BIOS locked with a password isn't doing us too many favours either.
How do you reset the BIOS password? I've tried looking on the net and there's no mention of a CMOS battery or at least some pins inside.
