(it's Award bios


What version?
CmosPwd says it works for Award 4.5x/4.6x/6.0 - also look at their
readme for some backdoor passwords to try.


6.0, I think - when I run it from DOS, cmospwd says something about be
sure
to use the numerical keypad, but I haven't yet figured out what or
when to do that...
as for the back door passwords, I've tried alot of 'em, but not all of
them in their
possible forms WRT caps, underscores, spaces, etc...But, I do still
wonder about
the keypad thing, and the numbers listed for version 6.0, I'll try a
few things next I
spend some time with it.

Thanks,
Mike
