Restarted the computer and it somehow offered me to enter the regular BIOS password again, entered 11313 and i was in!
awesome.
Don't know if this works on all models or not...
Try entering \ just a simple backslash for the password. On some older laptops this would reset the admin password giving you BIOS access...
EDIT... I see after posting this, you got it... excellent.
In future... don't be putting passwords into a system until it's stable and trusted.
Hello,
I had the same problem with my Sony VAIO VGN-P29VN. I haven't used it for a long time and then forgot the password (which I set by myself!). So I disassembled the whole thing and removed the battery for some hours. The battery is indeed that black thing connected with two cables (black and red) as seen on this picture:

But, as logicearth already said, this procedure did not reset the password. After I reconnected the battery and assempled the VAIO again, the password was still set.
I bought this thing used so I don't think that there would be any support by manufacturer any longer. Has anybody an idea what to do? If a wrong password is entered three times there is asked for an "OneTime Password" and some kind of key is diplayed (in a format like this: xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx). Is there ANYWHERE a key generator available which could generate this required password? If it is entered correctly, the BIOS password would be reset.
Thanks for any answer.
