feel like a noob here with a brand new framework 13 laptop (AMD) i tried to set the bios admin password and it had some complexity requirements, and now I dont remember the framework bios password any more as it differs from my other bios passwords i normally set
how to remove the bios password on amd framework 13 laptop? thanks.
reporting back, I have disassembled (opened) the framework 13 laptop AMD edition, and disconnected the main battery with that broad white connector. for a minute or so. putting back battery connector and reassembling the framework 13 laptop AMD edition, starts the RAM training and the bios/uefi main selection screen shows a default date and time reset to 2023/01/01 and 00:00 seconds counting up but the bios password itself is still present. i can not enter the bios/uefi this way.
p.s. even more updates ;( if one reads the actual article about full mainboard reset, there is the hint that one need to plug in the AC power with the coin cell and the main laptop battery being disconnected and then the LEDs on left and right side of the laptops indicating the actual mainboard reset with a red blinking light. I obviously missed this very step. now did all these things again, and thie framework 13 laptop AMD edition blinks blue-red (not only red as given in the article). will wait some more now and then see if my bios password becomes deleted. thanks and sorry for the fuss.
The main problem in my situation was, as far as I understand in the mean time, that the AC external power was not actually charging and feeding power to the AMD laptop, this caused the faulty initial situation where I could not apply the steps needed to remove the password from the hardware.
my emphasis here. So I even had set the battery limit of charging to 80% in my situation and I was not managing and succeeding to bring this laptop into actual and factual charging state, thus the steps needed to re-set (remove) the battery password would not initiate and take place to begin with.
Additionally I found out today, that I actually have left the original frame work AC charger (european model) connected all the time to my AC socket/power grid. And this would somehow when the laptop not being connected to the USB-C side of this frame work AC power supply, would somehow put the AC power supply into sleep mode, that even when my laptop was way below the 80% of battery charge, it would still not light up the charging LED on the laptop side. Only when I fully unplugged the AC power supply (charger) from the AC power outlet / socket, and then re-plug it into AC socket power grid, and if then being attached to the USB-C extension module on the frame work laptop, the LED light would light up and it would charge to the percentage or max that one would set in the bios.
And this charging state IS necessary to take certain steps with this frame work laptop, such as that bios upgrading procedure up in the frame work knowledge base documentation above or the bios password removal procedure that was given to my by the frame work support folks.
Hi!
I find myself in the same situation as you, where I have to reset my BIOS password. Could you list the steps again? I read this thread a couple times but I am not sure if you actually posted the steps or if I have to contact support because this procedure is not to be publicly known.
by now I think this issue has maybe been fixed with the current frame.work 13 laptop AMD edition bios update (bios version 3.03 AMD edition) which I only had applied after I sorted out this situation. maybe others could repro themselves, double check or add their experiences.
This wikiHow teaches you how to reset your Windows computer's BIOS password. You can do this by trying a master BIOS reset password, or you can attempt to remove your BIOS' memory battery. Keep in mind that not all BIOS manufacturers include a master reset password, and not all computers allow you to access the battery. If none of these methods work for you, thenake your computer into a tech repair shop or contact the manufacture.
Bios conserve the computer's most essential basic input and output procedure, the self-test procedure after boot-up, and the system self-start procedure. The Bios password is set on the mainboard to protect the encrypted authentication information of Bios related settings.
Windows users who have set the Bios password are required to authenticate the password when entering the Bios setup interface or logging into the computer operating system. The basic functions of the Bios password are:
There are two kinds of passwords that can be set inside the BIOS: one is the user password and the other is the administrator password. These two passwords are set in different methods and can lock the system Bios settings and operating system respectively.
CMOS discharge, in the case of disconnecting the power supply, is that by removing the CMOS coin cell on the mainboard and cutting off the power supply of COMS, the parameters installed in the BIOS is cleared, so the password is unavailable.
Now many new types of mainboards use Flash chips to store bios information. Just discharging the CMOS may not reset the password. Then the Bios information can be reset by changing the jumper to clear password.
Normally, the jumper cap is attached to the pins marked 1 and 2. To use this jumper to discharge, first pull out the jumper cap from pins "1" and "2", then attach it to pins marked "2" and "3" to connect them. The user's various settings within the BIOS can be cleared and the bios information can be restored to the factory default state of the mainboard after a short period of connection.
The bios password can be cleared through DOS commands. the run window can be opened by Win+R, then enter the command "cmd" enter DEBUG (a program that comes with DOS), send a data to ports 70h and 71h, so the bios settings can be cleared, as follows:
For some of the mainboards produced before, the manufacturer has set a super password (generally included in the mainboard manual, which can unlock the bios password of the unified model mainboard), which is used by the manufacturer's maintenance personnel when returning the product.However, this method has many security issues and is only suitable for some early models of mainboards.
PC CMOS Cleaner is an application that supports retrieving, deleting the Bios password and resetting the bios status. The user needs to copy PC CMOS Cleaner existed as an ISO image to CD/DVD or USB to make a startup disk, and start it on the PC through the startup disk.

The BIOS password should get cleared, if you remove the CMOS battery. For a Laptop the battery placement can be tricky so I'd recommend getting this done by a service engineer if you aren't too comfortable with this.
I installed Ubuntu 12.10 and am having a ton of problems. So, I thought that I would try alighter version of Linux. However, I put in a BIOS password. I can't remember it and I can't find were I wrote it down.
The simplest way to remove a BIOS password is to simply remove the CMOS battery. A computer will remember its settings and keep the time even when it is turned off and unplugged because these parts are powered by a small battery inside the computer called a CMOS battery. If we pull out this battery, the computer will forget a lot of its hardware settings, including its BIOS password. This should not be performed on Laptops if you are not experienced working with laptop hardware.
these backdoor passwords didnt work for me. i have a dell inspiron 1100 and have had a load of problems trying to reboot windows xp onto it. there isnt enuff space to do this and have been trying to get it to use the disk first on install but as it is obviously set different then i cant get it to run unless i can change the boot path. have tried taking the casinbg off to attempt the battery removal but cant do that as need a special topol. any help?
i have dell labtop model no : inspiron 6000
i have bios password . when i start my computer. he is wirte the screen . this computer system 513hl1j-595b is protected by a password authentication system. you cannot access the data on this computer without the correct password .
please type in the system or administrator password and press enter. please help me sir now what i do.
Seems people are getting confused with hard drive passwords and BIOS passwords. If the password is on the hard drive, these methods wont help. In fact, your options are very very few if its a hard drive password. For BIOS passwords, removing the battery fixes 90% of them.
