    I don't know anything about this subject, but I found this for you...


    Backdoor BIOS Passwords from Other Manufacturers
    Reported BIOS backdoor passwords for other manufacturers include:

    Manufacturer BIOS Password Brand/Password
    VOBIS & IBM /merlin
    Dell /Dell
    Biostar /Biostar
    Compaq /Compaq
    Enox /xo11nE
    Epox /central
    Freetech /Posterie
    IWill/ iwill
    Jetway /spooml
    Packard Bell /bell9
    QDI/ QDI
    Siemens /SKY_FOX
    SOYO /SY_MB
    TMC /BIGO
    Toshiba /Toshiba

    Remember that what you see listed may not be the actual backdoor BIOS password, this BIOS password may simply have the same checksum as the real backdoor BIOS password. For Award BIOS, this checksum is stored at F000:EC60.

    I got it from here, How do I reset a BIOS password?so you can go read it for yourself.

    Sorry, help can not be given for system or login passwords as to protect the owner of the PC. Not saying this is not your PC, but not knowing for sure, help really can't be given on this subject.

    Most of the time you can kill a BIOS password by removing the CMOS battery. Pulling it out for a few minutes then re installing it. Like I said this does it for most pc's. But it will not bypass a windows password.
