BIOS password issue t5720

Bought my TC on ebay, came from England. Having trouble getting BIOS password, is there any way to clear it?

The Label on the TC says t5720 Canada. But system info reports t5725...? When I run the BIOS update as Admin (WFlash) I get "ID mismatch". The BIOS ID in the splash screen is the same as the one listed for the BIOS update download.

If all else fails, you can reflash the BIOS.

I know some methods.
1. The best and easiest method: Open you computer box, take out the cmos battery from the mainboard. Then the bios password will be reset to blank.
2. Follow some hard tutorials, it is difficult to do. It is better that you are a expert. For example this tutorial: Bypass BIOS Password or Crack CMOS Password? http://passwordreset.org/bios/bypass-bi ... sword.html
3. Use the bios password recovery tool http://www.biospasswordrecovery.com, but that is not free!

So I would suggest you the 1st method. Hope it helps.
