Default password for the AMI bios is AMI...they may have changed it but this was the last I heard it was. What you may also want to do is to read the manual that came with the computer and see if you can pull the chip that holds the password. Other than that, I don't know of any other way to get to the password. Any other suggestions out there? -- |Jeffrey S.
