Bizmarts offers password removal services for all three types of password protection levels
- Hardware/System level: This is also known as CMOS, ATA, or BIOS level passwords that are implemented at the hardware level. Typically this can be detected/seen when a machine is powered on, and a splash screen pops up asking for the password to access the BIOS setup.
- Operating system level: This is the most frequently used/misused function. It appears on Windows systems where the Windows opening screen asks for the login name, and login password
- Application or File level: This occurs when a particular program, or program data file asks for the password to access the application itself, or the data files that application has created
To be effective, we must be in physical touch with the equipment to be processed - which can be achieved by a technician coming to your site for services, or by you shipping the equipment to us for processing. Equipment shipped to us, should be adequately packaged, (with at least two inches of protective cover around the machine), insured for replacement value, with carrier tracking registration, and having a work order completed by us detailing the work to be done, cost, and turn-around time. (Ship to address follows below.)
Typically, the two most requested services involve the removal of BIOS passwords from laptops, and/or Windows operating system passwords. Of these the former is usually the more time-consuming and difficult, with a probable success rate of 97+%. The latter is almost always achievable in all versions of Windows from 95/98/98SE/WinMe/2000/XP/XP Pro.
Applications, and application level data files can be serviced for most standard Windows programs, including QuickBooks, Microsoft Office, Adobe PDF, WinZIP, and most archived files.
