FINALLY someone who knows what he’s talking about. 3 Minutes after reading this I had FULL ACCESS to the BIOS on a locked up Emac E627. Its amazing how many idiots just say unsolder your cmos battery to fix the problem. Thanks for the CORRECT INFO

Obsolete way to remove password. In the platform.ini go to this section.
[Others]
ClearCMOS=0
FlashDevice=0
DisableCompare=0
DisableVerify=0
ErrorRetry=0

Change ClearCMOS=0 to ClearCMOS=1

Hope this helps you.

Thanks guys for your help! I bought a Acer Aspire 1830 Timeline laptop refurbished and I could not get rid of the password by taking out the CMOS and I didn’t want to risk trying to nuke the BIOS. Putting the Force Flash All to 1 did the trick! I can know boot into BIOS mode. You guys are amazing! I’ve been to like 20 sites and this is the only one that worked

nice tip, just tried on my machine and it worked both ways (i changed it to netowrk and then again to standalone)

not sure if it works when you install as Network and tries to go standalone, though.

thanks again keep up

Great work David!

FYI, there is now an unlock tool to for Insyde H2O BIOS. Dogbert provides his tool (and source code) free of charge under GNU Licensing.

HI,

I’ve an Acer D260, still presenting with a Bios password after the trying flashing the bios.

I downloaded Bios from Acer, extracting the Insydeflash files with 7-Zip from the windows flash file (NAV70315W.exe). Edited the platform.ini changed ALL=1 and password=1, ran InsydeFlash. The Bios updated but it still has a Bios password.

Any help is appreciated.

PS.. I dont have access to windows on the laptop due to the bootmgr being up that famous creek without a paddle. Is there a way to just fix the bootmgr to get access to the system and do it all from in windows. I dont have CD/DVD or USB booting options available to me and cant access bios to or F12 to change boot order. I have just for your info removed the bios battery for 20 mins /reassembled the laptop and the password is still there… strange but true ……………..

I downloaded the bios update for my emachines 732 and there are no editable files in the archive at all. Theres a windows flash exe and a dos file but none are pointing to anything editable, they both point straight to the bin files so I cant seem to see where I can flash without password. Any help appreciated…

[UPDATE]
It was not a HD password still the bios password. Along with changing the settings for password in the platform.ini file, I also changed the setting for ALL-0 to 1. That worked!

It still could not have been done without the help provided here. Thank you.

I am watching this thread cause I tried the mention method, updated the bios and changes the value for erasing the password and I still get the prompt for password. Is this a hard drive password that I have to get past before I can access the Bios? I get no code on failed attempts to remember the password just System Halted.

Trying to re-install OS.

Thanks
