g. now come to the: Bios Password to see: if you still see
password enable, that means we
fail but if we see they are Disable so we are done. Remember if
we success remove
password then we have to create a password for it and then
remove it and click Apply to
save to cmos memory. This is very important because sometimes we
see it Disable but
when reboot the computer they are Enable again cuz the password
is still in the CMOS.
