BIOS Password
Posted by Rick on June 7th, 2008


I am in the process of formatting an older computer that has a lot of crap
on it. Some smart person has put a password in the bios setup and I need to
get in there to change the boot-up priority. How can I delete the password.

Thanks

With power off, move the jumper over to the other 2 pins and wait at
least 5 minutes; then move it back.
All CMOS settings will be reset, so you will have to check and maybe
change some settings.

If you can't do that then remove the CMOS battery for a little while its
the round disc shaped thing.. Make sure you put it back the same way
