Hi, I have a emachines E520 and the owner has put a password on the hard drive without realising it.
How do i reset the cmos on this laptop?
Or is there another way around tjhis problem.
There is a bios password on too but i have that one so can get into bios.
Obv cant change the hd password from there as i dont know the one thats on
Done it before on a different laptop and it envolved shorting out 2 specific points under the ram slot while the laptop was on. Dont want to try this till i know which points it is
Battery is soldered onto the motherboard...on the topside i might add...had to remove motherboard just to find that out.
cheers for reading
