		<description><![CDATA[Heh heh, BIOS passwords are a trivial issue if you are the device owner and can take your time. First, there are large lists published to the internet of those master codes you&#039;re refering to, but more importantly...

A BIOS password is stored in volatile memory that is supported by the CMOS battery (Little watchbattery looking thing the size of a washer.)  Remove the laptop battery, AC-adapter cord and then pen the laptop and remove the CMOS battery. Attempt to power it on a few times (Hold power button for 45seconds or so, repeat) This is usually enough to drain the residule charge from the capacitors and wipe the volatile memory. If that fails, do it again, and wait 24-48hours before putting any power back to the device.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Actually, I&#039;m afraid you are incorrect on that account.
Ther is infact data loss that occurs when you clear or force a change upon a user password. Or rather data loss that *could occur* Your security encryption keys are linked to your name/password combination at the time the password is set using the proper creation tool. If you use a tool that forces a change on the password, it does not update the encrytion keys associated with your account, thus creating a loss of any files using the EFS (Encrypting File System) in windows.

The only way to recover said lost data is if you already had a backup-operator/recovery operator account created with saved copies of the encryption keys exported for later data recovery scenarios. While such is the suggested practice is large corporate scenarios, it&#039;s rarely followed even there, none the less on a home user&#039;s computer.]]></description>
