Computer Hacking Forensic Investigator (CHFI v10) — Question 464

What is one method of bypassing a system BIOS password?

Answer options

• A. Removing the processor
• B. Removing the CMOS battery
• C. Remove all the system memory
• D. Login to Windows and disable the BIOS password

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as removing the CMOS battery clears the BIOS settings, including the password. The other options do not effectively reset the BIOS password; removing the processor and system memory does not impact the BIOS settings, and logging into Windows does not provide access to BIOS-level settings.
