bios password of Intel motherboard D945GCCR

5 posts · originally from https://geek.digit.in/community/threads/bios-password-of-intel-motherboard-d945gccr.79611/

My friend has a PC with intel D945GCCR motherboard. His PC is infested with viruses. He asked my help and when I wanted to boot off XP cd and format the PC and Install XP, it couldn't boot as the boot sequence is not cd rom first. Therefore I wanted to change the setting but it is password protected.

How can we know the password? The original assembler who assembled the PC may not be available. When I referred to support on Intel site, there is something about changing the cap of jumpers on the motherboard. Since I am not that kind a technical person, is there any other way to retrieve the password? Is there any default password such as Admin or something like that? I have already tried "Admin", "Password" etc.

Can anyone of you help me on the above?

Just reset the BIOS once using a jumper or remove the Cmos battery.

One think which can be done is to reset the BIOS... there are 2 ways, via jumper or via bettery reset..

Jumper Settings

Locate this jumper as show in the bellow image !!!

there are 3 pins, like * * * the pin would cover 1 and 2 pin which is the default config... - - * so take the pin out and put it as 2 and 3 cover like, * - - start the system

the BIOS should revart back to the default shipping factory settings... !!! now power of the system and restore the jumper to default 1 and 2 cover settings

start the system once again to do you work

next option removing the battery

locate the bettery as show in the picture

remove it and then wait for 5 pins, plug it back to start the system

it would be restored to the factory settings

What an instantaneous answer. Thank you Choto Cheeta

Remove the CMOS battery on the motherboard and put it back
