http://www.st-ware.com/page.php?23 http://www.st-ware.com/files/p/deanimator2/De-CMOS2.exe excellent handy software, i personally tried it on my netbook and it worked great! info - "CMOS De-Animator is a service utility which allows you to invalidate the checksum of your system's CMOS memory, resetting all settings to default and clearing any stored BIOS passwords (if any) upon re-boot. The main advantage of my utility is, that it can work under every Windows operating system, and no administrator privileges are required! so you don't have to remove batteries or open the case and press a button on mobo or even access your bios to reset it, software based reset ftw.

i tried it nada de nada didn´t clear CMOS for a few laptops at work one HP one Toshiba and a bunch of Acer laptops... i run it from a live XP session as a administrator,so where did i go wrong ?
Cuz this is faster right from your desktop and you dont have to turn off your pc and open your case and dig in to remove the battery... one click does the job.
