However, Google fails to show any such tool. Note that I am not trying to clear/reset the password. What I want to do is to recover a BIOS password during a pen-test so I can reboot the box at will without making any changes to the box. Any pointers greatly appreciated. Jon
Try searching for CMOS password on Google. There were many results including cmospwd.
