How to use cmospwd:

For Windows/DOS users:
IMPORTANT: Windows users need to install the including ioperm driver so they can get direct access to the CMOS

To install the ioperm driver you need first to extract the archive to e.g. C:\
and the open cmd.
In the directory where the cmospwdbinary is located there also is a prodam called ioperm which you use to install the driver with.

To install it just simply type ioperm -i (make sure you run it as admin).

Now you'll be able to run cmospwd without any problems.
Just type cmospwd and some possible password hacks will show for different BIOSes.

But the most easy way to get rid of the password is just to run cmospwd /k.
After you done that you'll notice that everything gets very laggy but that just normal because you killed the CMOS

Just restart the computer and the you will get a warning that the BIOS has been reset, just enter BIOS and check the settings, save and reboot.

Now the CMOS password has been reset.
