- Reading: Resetting supervisor password
My dad forgot his supervisor password for his BIOS, now I can't change the boot order. I googled for a while now but nothing helped. I can generate a code from the error hash, but this won't let me change the BIOS settings. Any help would be much appreciated.
It's a Packard Bell Z5WT1 Laptop. with an Insyde V2.02 30.07.2013 BIOS.

reflash bios
Did you bother to google this question?
Clear the cmos.

I did, clearing the cmos doesn't seem to help because on laptops it's stored in the EEPROM.

This actually resets the password?

BIOS not operating system

You Basic Input Output System is an OS of sorts.
Impossible to do; you're shit out of luck OP.

Yeah, unless the laptop's motherboard has the jumpers associated with a bios password.
