I can start up the OS, but I can’t get into BIOS. I tried clearing the CMOS, but that didn’t help, the password is still there, somehow. Isn’t it supposed to be reset? It’s a used Sony Vaio laptop that I’m talking about here. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Yes, it should have been reset. How exactly did you try to clear the CMOS? Did you just flick the jumper/switch, or did you remove the whole battery and leave it out for some time before putting it in? The former approach is the preferable one. Make sure you leave it out for a long time, since some laptop CMOS batteries can hold the charge for hours. Make it a day, and it should clear.

A. By Using the Motherboard Jumper:

In most motherboards CMOS battery is soldered, which makes it difficult to remove the battery. In this case we use another method.

Almost all motherboards contain a jumper that can clear all CMOS settings along with the BIOS password. The location of this jumper varies depending upon the motherboard brand. You should read your motherboard manual to check its location. If you don't have the manual then look for the jumpers near the CMOS battery. Most of the manufacturer label the jumper as CLR, CLEAR, CLEAR CMOS, etc.

When you find the jumper, look carefully. There will be 3 pins and the jumper will be joining the center pin to either left or right pin. What you need to do, is remove the jumper and join the center pin to the opposite pin. e.g. if the jumper joins center pin to left pin, then remove it and join center pin to right pin. Now wait for a few seconds and then again remove the jumper and join the center pin to left pin.

Make sure to turn the PC off before opening the cabinet and resetting the jumper.



B. By Using Software:


I have found that BIOS/CMOS Password Recovery Tool is the most effective.:
BIOS/CMOS Password Recovery Tool is a program that works instantly to remove any lost or forgotten BIOS/CMOS password. Simply boot your PC to DOS and execute the program, and get access to forgotten BIOS/CMOS passwords in just seconds
