BIOS Code Generator fixes locked laptop BIOS.  It happens more often than you’d think – access to the bios of your laptop is locked & you’ve forgotten the damn password. All you remember is entering a really clever new password at the time. **sigh** 

As is the case with many electronic devices, a locked bios will often provide an ID that – with enough clever reverse engineering – will reveal the tricky password that you entered then promptly forgot. (Note to self: Do not play with bios whilst drunk) All you need is to know the algorithm used to calculate the password. Which 99% of us do not know.

After usually 3-5 attempts at the password, the laptop will respond with something similar to “This laptop ABCD12345-ZYX is locked. Restart to enter the correct password.” It’s that Laptop ID Challenge Code that leads us to the password, eventually.

Fortunately, Megabyte @1024kb.co.nz has a pre-built BIOS Code Generator for many (but not all) laptop bios locks. Covering HP, Dell. Sony, Toshiba, Fujitsu, BenQ, Asus, Acer and more, it’s worth giving it a try. Especially since it’s posted on this site & it’s free to use.

If you have a problem with a locked bios, obtain the machine ID mentioned above then go here.  Enter the ID, press the button, profit. The response will ID the brand of laptop and provide your password.
