The easiest way is to reset all settings CMOS Setup" in the default state. The BIOS settings Default do not include any password to run the computer or to log in to the utility “BIOS Setup”. So if you don't remember BIOS password, need to reset it. Thus you will reset the "CMOS memory", returning to the initial settings. Earlier it was used by so-called service (engineering) passwords, that is individual for each BIOS manufacturer. On today's motherboards these passwords do not work anymore.

To produce dropping the “CMOS memory”, you need to prepare the system. On the computer turned off (power cord removed also) find on the motherboard (next to the battery, the CMOS switch Clear CMOS”.
Move the jumper to the second position and press the on button of the computer. Then return the jumper back on and turn on the computer.

You can use the method for clearing the BIOS from DOS. This is done with the command "debug". Boot the computer into DOS system. Next, enter the command "DEBUG-O 70 17 -O 71 17 Q". After that, the system should automatically boot.

If your computer system is integrated AWARD BIOS, you can try to enter the factory passwords.
Passwords are generally these: AWARD_SW, TTPTHA, aPAf, HLT, lkwpeter, KDD, j262, ZBAAACA, j322, ZAAADA, Syxz, %six gaps%, Wodj, %nine spaces%, ZJAAADC, 01322222, j256, ?award, 00000000.
