Hello,

I managed to get my hands on some old desktops that my university was throwing out. Unfortunately, windows 7 and the bios both are password protected.

I have tried removing the cmos battery from one of the pc's and that permanently locked me out. I also have tried to put boot disks and password disks into the computer, but the boot order seems to not have disks first.

Is there anyway I can get access to these computers. I don't need any data or OS in the PC. I'm willing to switch them over to linux if that is needed. Please let me know if you have a possible solution to this problem

Thanks

also: The bios is a phoenix bios and I already tried default passwords
