    another way to reset BOIS password is to removing the jumper near the CMOS Battery though it is not easy thing for normal users ,removing CMOS battery and putting back will reset the Bios password which is easy for normal users.

    @ srikanth Your system is infected with virus ,repair the OS though which is not the right thing to do now when infected,repair the OS then you will get into windows for sometime without logging off backup your data and scan with latest updated antivirus if it can’t find anything ,since you have already backup the data format your OS drive that is c drive.
