    i made a password to protect my bios,i useally keep the same password for everything, keeps it easy for me,anyway i decided to change it that was no problem,then the other week there i decided to format my laptop,so went to bios,put in my password did'nt work tried again still not working tried this for ages with other passwords i might of used still no joy,so i decided to clear cmos by shorting out the solder contacts under the memory done that a few times cause it still wanted a password,so the other way i took the cmos battery out and left it for quite a while,totall strip down by the way,ok put back together tried again still asking for password now this is doing my head in,im a electronic engineer and am pretty good with computers not been beat yet untill now,iv'e also tried flashing the bios with an up to date one from samsung,oh my laptop is a
