I need to do this :-)

>snip<
To remove bios password
 1. Your notebook
 2. An empty formatted diskette (720 kb or 1,44 mb)
 3. A second computer (e.g. a DOS desktop PC)
 4. A hex-editor (e.g. Norton DiskEdit or HexWorks)

 This is what you have to do:

 1. Start the desktop PC and start the hex-editor
 2. Put the disk in drive A:
 3. Change the first five bytes of sector 2 (boot sector is sector 1) to: 4B
45 59 00 00
 4. Save it! Now you have a KEYDISK
 5. Remove the disk from drive A:
 6. Put the disk in the notebook drive
 7. Start the notebook in Boot Mode (push the reset button)
 8. Press Enter when asked for Password:
 9. You will be asked to Set Password again. Press Y and Enter.
 10. You now see the BIOS configuration where you can set a new password.

But it's the hex-editor I'm stuck for.
Any thing available in Linux that will do the job.
