The 'Hiren's BootCD 15.1 is functional with windows NT/2000/XP/Vista/7 and linux (but not Mac).

Only use this troubleshooting guide if your USB Flash drive can not be booted by entering the boot menu on your computer by pressing the allocated key (which is clearly listed on the bottom of your screen when you turn on most computers). The most common keys for boot menu are 'F8' and 'F12'.

Troubleshooting: set your computer to boot from USB Flash Drive.

To Enter the BIOS press the 'Del' button on your keyboard or, depending on the type of bios, one of these alternatives: 'F1', 'F2', 'F8', 'F10' 'F12', 'insert' or 'tab'. Commonly, a PC will show a message like 'Press Del to enter Setup' to indicate that you need to press the 'Del' key. Some AMI BIOS require you to enable the option 'USB Keyboard Legacy support'.

For AMI BIOS (follow steps 1 or 2 depending on your BIOS type):

1. Go to 'Feature Setup'. 'Enable' these options: 'USB Function Support', 'USB Function For DOS' and 'ThumbDrive for DOS'. Go to 'Advanced Setup'. Set the '1st Boot Device' to 'USB RMD-FDD'. Reboot the PC and it now should automatically boot from the USB flash drive without you having to select it from the boot menu.

2. Go to 'USB Mass Storage Device Configuration'. Select 'Emulation Type' and set it to 'Harddisk'. Go to the 'Boot Menu' and set the '1st boot device' to 'USB-Stick'. Exit the BIOS and save the changes.

For PHOENIX/AWARD BIOS (my laptop's BIOS):
Go to 'Advanced BIOS Features'. Go to the '1st Boot device' and set it to 'USB-ZIP'. The key is 'F2' on my particular laptop.

Can you use this process to remove laptop bios password on a dell 1558?

[Musicarta]

@borikuavic In theory, the BIOS password removal tools on this CD will work with any computer and any BIOS. However, from experience, all BIOS password removers are frankly unreliable at best, and I therefore advise that you follow the steps on my website before trying to use the programs on this CD. Go to me website and then, in the side menu bar, locate: Hiren's BootCD > Use > Remove BIOS Password. I hope I was able to help you out. Have a great day!

thank you man !!!



[Musicarta]

@kakarottob You're most welcome. Have a great day!

[Musicarta]

@letseatbutterchicken I'm most pleased to hear this. Thanks for commenting and have a great day!

[JCSVINDUSTRIES]

can you make a video showing how to use the majority of the programs?

[Musicarta]

@JCSVINDUSTRIES No, because that would quite clearly take centuries. However, if people have requests on particular programs, then I would consider it (I have already got a video showing you how to remove a Windows password with the Offline Windows Password & Registry Editor).
