Recently, one of my friend forgot his BIOS password and needs to change some bios setting. This happens mostly with Laptop users as they lock their Laptop BIOS for security purpose and forget the password in the Long run. You can regain access to change the settings in BIOS, this can be done by using a small free software â€"PC CMOS. There are many other scenarios where you need to enter BIOS settings and you find out that it’s been locked because of password protection.

You can also remove or reset BIOS password physically â€" by opening the system’s case and removing the CMOS battery or changing jumper settings. But most of us are less aware of hardware details. For those users there is PC CMOS Cleaner which helps to reset BIOS password in few clicks.

PC CMOS Cleaner is free and an easy-to-use tool to recover, delete, decode and display the superior passwords stored in BIOS whatever the brand is. Most types of BIOS are supported. It’s a bootable CD that runs on x86 and x86_64 computers. No need to pay expensive fees to experts because this utility is absolutely FREE to use. I love free software.

How to reset BIOS Password?

1. Download ISO file by clicking here
2. Burn the ISO file to CD
3. Set the BIOS to boot from CD.
4. Insert the CD you burned and reboot your computer. The software then automatically runs.

There is an awesome writeup on Synergy by Adam Pash over at LifeHacker today. I have been using it for sometime now and you should check out the post and applications.



If you have two or more computers at one desk, you don’t want two or more sets of keyboards and mice cluttering up your workspace, too. You can buy a hardware gadget that lets you share a single keyboard and mouse with several computers (which involves a mess of tangled wires), or you could use a free software solution called Synergy. The Synergy application runs on all the computers you’re using—the one that has the keyboard and mouse connected and the one(s) that do not—and lets you control all of them from that keyboard and mouse. That means you can move your mouse off one computer’s screen and it will appear on the other, where you can type and work as well. Synergy also lets you share Clipboard contents between computers. If you copy information to the Clipboard on one computer and move your mouse to the other, you can paste it there, even though they’re two different systems.
