![]() Without getting too technical, the reason it worked is because the password generated by the website and my password generate the same checksum.Īlso, don’t worry about the system disabled message because it’s just a scare tactic. I tried the Generic Phoenix password on my laptop and it worked! What is amazing is that the password I had put on the BIOS wasn’t even the same as the one listed on the website, but it still worked. For example, I have an Acer laptop at home and I went ahead and set a BIOS password and then entered the incorrect password three times.Īfter the third time, I got a message saying System Disabled, but I also got a number displayed right below that message.Īll you have to do now is go to a website called and simply type in that number! It will give you back a set of passwords for different BIOS brands that match that checksum. So most BIOS manufacturers have a fail-safe that will show what is called a checksum of the password once you enter the incorrect password more than 3 times. ![]()
