somewhere back by the battery on the motherboard
you should have a jumper. Three terminals.
2 or shorted.
It works one of two ways.
1)power off...move jumper to pins 2-3....power on....wait 2
seconds
power off and replace jumper on pins 1-2
(you \have to cycle power with the jumper swapped)
2) simply move the jumper. or short pins 2-3 to clear/reset
the bios.
the 3rd option...simply pull the battery.
That is unless it works as in #1 above meaning the PW is
stored
in eeprom not volitale ram (as in #2)
sometime simply pulling the battery will do it.
best of luck
