System and method for enabling/disabling write-protection of a basic input output system

A system for enabling/disabling write-protection of a basic input/output system (BIOS) of a computer, the computer comprising a central I/O controller and a super I/O controller, the system comprising:

• a setting module configured for setting a parameter structure, configuring a pointer of a header file and a data structure of the header file in a particular segment of the BIOS codes, and configuring data blocks for the data structure in the particular segment, the data blocks used to set a general purpose input/output (GPIO) pin of the central I/O controller and a GPIO pin of the super I/O controller in a high level state or a low level state, to enable/disable the write-protection of the BIOS;
• a searching module configured for searching the pointer of the header file, locating the data blocks, and returning an offset address of a byte;
• an input/output module configured for inputting a command line sub-parameter of the parameter structure, and returning a message that indicates the write-protection of the BIOS is enabled or disabled;
• a processing module configured for processing codes in the data block that corresponds to the inputted command line sub-parameter;
• at least one storage device of the computer for storing the setting module, the searching module, the input/output module, and the processing module;
• and
• at least one processor of the computer for executing the setting module, the searching module, the input/output module, and the processing module.
