I need to reinstall windows from a usb flash drive. I try to enter the bios to change the boot order. Selecting f9 does not work. I get a blue box that says enter administrator password. I have unplugged the power and removed the cmos battery for over 24 hours. This does not remove the password. I don't visibly see any jumpers on the motherboard that says anything about cmos or pswd reset. Not sure what I will need to do to get this password removed.
