download awflash (or other bios flashing software) and save the bios file to hdd. again update the bios with the file that u saved.

restart.

bios will load the default and password will be gone. u can again set the bios password

Reset your mobos cmos setting by :
1. Removing the cmos battery fro mobo & about 2 mins later sit it back.
2. Clear Mobos jumper setting ( see manual )

Some old bios dont have jumper instead user need to press some key from keyboard before pressing the power button. This instruction is written on mb pcb.

^^ But Removing the cmos battery from mobo & put it back again some time later really works
