How to reset a Bios password for a Gateway Laptop
I have a Gateway model 600YG2 laptop. Recently I attempted to remove the power-on password. I entered no password (pressing enter) on the bios password update screens (assumming this would remove the password). This did not work as I can no longer boot my laptop, and the old power-on password does not work and neither does entering no password (pressing enter). Is there a power-on password which still work (when I attempted to clear the power-on password)? How can I update the bios to remove (or change) the power-on password?

Henry, were you able to solve the problem?
I try that on my laptop and it did not work. The batter that was found attached to the motherboard was sadder to the motherboard. I was able to cut the battery from its attached position and reboot the laptop and press all the keys then power down the laptop and re-sadder the battery connection to the motherboard then power back on the laptop but still it did not work to allow me access to the BIOS of the laptop.
dous: you need to provide a model number of your laptop if you want to get help, as we can direct you to instructions for removing the CMOS etc.
