Removing password from Phoenix BIOS and HDD

Foreword

People are not cars and they tend to forget, and sometimes our forgetfulness is very expensive, but as we know there are no hopeless situations. It so happened that my friend forgot the BIOS password (phoenix) and turned to me for help, I am a responsive person and decided to help him, finding a solution to the problem, decided to write an article.

Windows & DOS

In order to remove the password from the BIOS or HDD, do the following:
First you need to find out the error code. To do this, press F2 when loading, and type the password 3 times incorrectly, it should show something like this:

System Disabled [12345]

Remember the error code and download the program unlock6 you know where to look.
Then you need to unzip the program (for example, C: \ unlock6 \) there should be two .exe files BIOS_PW.EXE and HDD_PW.EXE, then press the combination win + r (analog start -> execute) to enter in the appeared window "cmd" quotes)
A command line window will appear. You need to type a command (this will move you to the program directory):

cd C:\unlock6\

To unlock the BIOS:
')
BIOS_PW.EXE 12345 0

Where is 12345 error code, do not forget to enter zero after the error code as shown above. After the command is entered, the program will issue passwords to your BIOS (approximately 6 pieces).
Similarly for HDD:

HDD_PW.EXE 12345 0

IMPORTANT !!!: After you enter the passwords on the BIOS or HDD, do not forget to change them to new ones.

Windows x86_64 (for 64-bit versions)

If you try to do the above described actions in a 64-bit operating system environment, you will receive a message that it is impossible to execute the program or component due to incompatibility with the 64-bit version of windows. The solution to this rather simple problem is to download DOSBox from the developer’s website www.dosbox.com , install and run.
First you need to mount the C drive: where we have unlock6 you can do it with the following command:
mount cc: /
We perform the actions described earlier:

cd C:\unlock6\
BIOS_PW.EXE 12345 0

Where - 12345 error code.

Linux, FreeBSD, MacOS X

It is done in the same way, you just need to download the version of DOSBox for your operating system.
