Question : Problem: Lost Bios Password for Fujitsu-Siemens Lifebook E8310

Re: Fujitsu-Siemens Lifebook E series Model E8310.

One of my client has obtained the above laptop as part of a foreclosure agreement on a bad loan but since it has a bios password (Phoenix Technologies - Trust Core), they cannot access it for system restoration.

I have tried removing the CMOS battery for a few minutes and several bios passwords such as BIOS, CMOS, PHOENIX, phoenix but to no avail.

I believe there is a way to short some pins or jumpers but I am not sure. Does anyone know a way?

Modern Laptops use a security chip to store BIOS passwords. Your option is to either get the Password from the original owner, or get in touch with Fujitsu Siemens, provide them proof of ownership, and then they'll remove the Password for you. This can also mean you will have to send it in to them, as they may need physical access to it, and it probably won't be a free service either.
