Download Ultimate Boot Cd ISO file. Burn iso file on a disk. Boot from it and reset the password.

I dont know without opening cabinet...... but it can be easily done by removing BIOS battery for a while and again putting it back.

Hey Guys,
I think Flashing the BIOS might solve the problem.
what do u ppl say?
Just download the latest BIOS for ur board from manufacturer's website.
follow the instructions, and flash ur BIOS..
I guess it will reset ur password too.

This trick worked with my pentium 2.

Open the cabinet
Find the battery on the motherboard. [Button Cell > It a little bigger than a Rs 5 coin.]
Remove the battery and leave your PC for some hours.

Put the battery back in and your BIOS password should be reset.

P.S. Dont forget to disconnect all power supplies to the CPU.
