I'm working on a security system, and i need to know any possible way of resetting a bios password, clearing the cmos, clearing an mbr, deleting any required boot files from within windows. If anyone has any knowledge on these subjects please share.

To clear the CMOS, unplug the computer and take the battery out for an hour or two *to be on the safe side*.

You can't delete MBR without deleting the partition, and all the data on it. You can't delete boot files from Windows. Why would you want to, though?
