Can anyone help me on how to reset the Bios password to default on an HP Compaq 6710b Laptop?
I have an HP Compaq 6710b Laptop. It is booting but it cant go beyond bios boot and i cant enter setup as it is asking for a password. I have tried removing the CMOS battery but nothing works. Where exactly is the jumper located. People keep talking about hardware reset by moving the jumper but i cant locate them on the motherboard.

Not all motherboards have the CMOS reset jumper. On some motherboards it is a button instead of jumper pins or you may just have to remove the CMOS battery (looks like a button battery) for a few minutes.

if pulling the cmos battery out did not work try to find the clear cmos pins...there usually right by the cmos battery....just use a screwdriver to touch both pins at the same time...that will ground them out.and put bios to default settings.....then try rebooting again and see if you can get past the password screen........ if not i would call hp tech support and let them tell you how to fix the problem.....jmho Scott
