A method for enabling/disabling write-protect of a basic input/output system (BIOS) includes: setting a parameter structure; configuring a pointer of a header file and a data structure of the header file in a program segment of the BIOS codes; configuring data blocks that are configured for enabling/disabling the write-protection of the BIOS for the data structure in the program segment; searching the pointer of the header file, and locating the data blocks; and processing codes in a data block that is corresponding to a command line sub-parameter of the parameter structure. A system for enabling/disabling write-protect of a basic input/output system (BIOS) is also disclosed.
