BIOS Password is Unknown

[Kara2]

I was trying to flash the BIOS and there is a BIOS password that I do not know.  I've never set a BIOS password.  I already removed the CMOS battery, counted to 30 and put it back in.  That did not clear the BIOS password.

Move the Password jumper to the pins next to where it is now.

Power-on for just a few seconds.

Shutdown and move the jumper to its original position.

Then boot.

I see the password jumper, but I do not see anymore pins around it.  There are pins in the corner by the system speaker connnector that are similiar to the password jumper pins.

I could not tell from the picture if there was another set or not.

Then what you do is just remove it and power-on for a few seconds.

Then replace it and boot.
