there is a command kill-some-buffers, which asks you for each open buffer
if you want it killed.
you still need to type yes or no for each buffer, so in actual fact it may
be less trouble just to kill and restart emacs...

As usual, google is your friend. There is a solution here, at the
second hit on googling for emacs "kill all buffers" :
http://www.shallowsky.com/dotfiles/.emacs
It calls kill-buffer on each buffer, which means no questions asked
unless the buffer is unsaved.

There is also M-x desktop-clear:
desktop-clear is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `desktop.el'.
(desktop-clear)
Empty the Desktop.
This kills all buffers except for internal ones and those with names matched by
a regular expression in the list `desktop-clear-preserve-buffers'.
Furthermore, it clears the variables listed in `desktop-globals-to-clear'.

Hi,
Is there any way to kill all buffers (and get prompted about the ones
not saved)?
From time to time I like to kill all opened buffers (for instance when
changing from projects), and it takes me a long time killing one at a time.
Thank you
Kind regards
Alberto

The bs (no pun intended) library is very handy for this sort of thing. I
use the following for handling buffers:
(global-set-key "\C-x\C-b" 'bs-show)
and calling that temporarily splits the window (to a customizible size)
where 'k' would kill the buffer referred to in the current line. It has
many useful features ('customize-group bs RET'). Would that help?

There was just a long thread about this. Search the archives.
