    You still have to remove the battery on a few of them aswell, I find that most ASUS MO Bo's require you to do this, atleast the A7V xx ones.

    I guess they are all diferent just depends what you have.

Is there a way I can recover the password or some sort of software I can use to access my computer again?? any help would be much appreciated

    Tweekerjay, you have not mentioned the tech.details of your motherboard[mb] there are a few default pwds which you could try before thinking of opening your sys cabinet. check out on your manufacturer's website etc. below i have listed certain pwds which you can try ALFAROME, aPAf, _award, AWARD_SW, AWARD?SW, AWARD SW, AWARD PW, AWKWARD, BIOSTAR, CONCAT, CONDO, Condo, d8on, djonet, HLT, J64, J256, J262, j332, j322, KDD, Lkwpeter, LKWPETER, PINT, pint, SER, SKY_FOX, SYXZ, syxz, shift + syxz, TTPTHA

    mostly AWARD_SW does the trick however try out other pwds if it fails.

    I think the best thing is to remove the jumper, (which in most cases located near the BIOS chip).
    You need to remove the jumper, power on your machine, then shutdown, place the jumper back and start your machine.

    The FACT that people ignore FACTS
    doesnt mean that FACTS are not FACTS

    I believe that if you reset the BIOS via a jumper it is not only the easiest way, but also the safest.
