-) Remember that what you see listed may not be the actual backdoor BIOS password, this BIOS password may simply have the same checksum as the real backdoor BIOS password. For Award BIOS, this checksum is stored at F000:EC60.

Resetting the BIOS Password using Software

If you are able to access the machine after it has been booted successfully, you may be able to view the BIOS password. You must know the memory address where the BIOS password is stored, and the format in which the BIOS password is stored. Or, you must have a program that knows these things.

You can write your own program to read the BIOS password from the CMOS memory on a PC by writing the address of the byte of CMOS memory that you wish to read in port 0x370, and then reading the contents of port 0x371.

or use software like :

!BIOS will recover the BIOS password for most common BIOS versions, including IBM, American Megatrends Inc, Award and Phoenix.

CmosPwd will recover the BIOS password for the following BIOS versions:
  • ACER/IBM BIOS
  • AMI BIOS
  • AMI WinBIOS 2.5
  • Award 4.5x/4.6x/6.0
  • Compaq (1992)
  • Compaq (New version)
  • IBM (PS/2, Activa, Thinkpad)
  • Packard Bell
  • Phoenix 1.00.09.AC0 (1994), a486 1.03, 1.04, 1.10 A03, 4.05 rev 1.02.943, 4.06 rev 1.13.1107
  • Phoenix 4 release 6 (User)
  • Gateway Solo - Phoenix 4.0 release 6
  • Toshiba
  • Zenith AMI

Vendor Specific Solutions for Resetting the BIOS Password

  • Resetting an IBM Aptiva BIOS Password 

    • press both mouse buttons repeatedly while booting the system.

Resetting the BIOS Password using Hardware (Desktop)

  • Remove motherboard battery
  • Use jumper that will clear the BIOS password

Linux FSH (file system hierarchy)

Linux FSH (file system hierarchy)

< / > pronounce root -
everything starts from root

- boot file
.(linux kernel included-vmlinuz)

- The configuration files for the Linux system
    /etc/inittab - describes processes are started at system bootup and during normal operation
    /etc/fstab   - information about the file systems and their mount points, like cdroms
    /etc/passwd  - users account information. This is where the users are defined.

- contain programs for the system (binaries, hence the directory's name)
    /bin     : programs that the system needs to operate
    /usr/bin : applications for the system's users

- system administration programs
    you must run these programs as the root user.

- user applications and source codes, and pictures, docs, or config files
    /usr/doc    : Documentation for the user apps, in many file formats.

    /usr/share  : Config files and graphics for many user apps.

    /usr/src    : Source code files for the system's software, including the Linux kernel.

    /usr/include: Header files for the C compiler.A subdirectory contains C++  headers.

    /usr/X11R6  : The X Window System and things for it.

- This is where you install apps and other files for use on the local machine.
    If your machine is a part of a network, the /usr directory may physically be on
    another machine and can be shared by many networked Linux workstations.
    On this kind of a network, the /usr/local  directory contains only stuff that is not
    supposed to be used on many machines and is intended for use at the local machine only.

  - The shared libraries for programs that are dynamically linked.

- This is where users keep their personal files.Every user has their directory under /home

- The superuser's (root's) home directory.

  - Contains variable data that changes constantly when the system is running.
    /var/log   : Contains system log files.
    /var/mail  : Incoming and outgoing mail is stored in this directory.
    /var/spool : Contains files that are queued for some process, like printing.

  - Programs can write their temporary files here.

  - The devices that are available to a Linux system.devices are treated like files

- bunch of numbered entries that correspond to all processes running on the system

- files Linux restores after a system crash or when
    a partition hasn't been unmounted before a system shutdown.

  - This directory is used for mount points.NOT in Debian and SuSE.
