I bought a used 8760W that came with a password on the BIOS. I'd like to get the latest BIOS update, change the boot order, etc, but can's since I'm locked out of the BIOS. How can I remove the password?
I tried removing the CMOS battery for several hours to let the BIOS reset, but the password is still on it.
I'm willing to remove the BIOS chip and replace it with a new one if that's necessary.
