So this is the story. Kids set BIOS passwords on 3 computers, and have set them to not boot up with an administrator BIOS password. They are pleading innocent and not giving up the BIOS passwords.
Since these computers are IBM's using the IBM security chip, a simple reset of the CMOS DOES NOT clear the passwords. Clearing the CMOS accomplishes nothing except causing a CMOS checksum error. It reloads the config and password from the security chip.
Now, we just want to be able to use the computers. We don't care if the security chip destroys the hard drive data at all. I was wondering if their was any way i could bypass this security chip.
