    Yes. There are hacks for AMI and AWARD BIOS chips, but they sometimes don't work depending from the version.

    You need to give more information. What are you trying to do? If you mean that the BIOS is password protected and you've lost the original, try locating the jumper that resets the configuration on the mobo. If it's a decent board it should be clearly labelled.

    I believe, he wants to know if you can use other passwords than the original one to access the BIOS without having to short the battery.

    Belive or not it is true there are master passwords for bios's - I used to know one that worked on older Award bios's it didnt matter what the mb was it would always work. But Ive forgotten it now. And it didnt work on newer ones

    Dr Jam is right, do a search on any search engine and you'll turn up dozens of pages that list all the master passwords for different BIOS'es....
