Sorry for not getting back sooner.
- To clear the Setup or Power-On passwords, and clear any other settings, power down the computer, remove the AC power cord and the computer hood.
- Locate the green two pin password jumper on header E49 (labeled PSWD) and remove it.
- Press the clear CMOS button. This is typically a yellow push button labeled CMOS.
- Replace the hood and AC power cord and turn the computer on. The passwords and any other CMOS (nonvolatile memory) settings are now cleared.
- Re-enter the F10 setup utility.
- Select File, Default Setup, Restore Factory Settings as Default. This will change the settings back to factory default.
- Select File, Apply Defaults and Exit.
- Shut down the computer, remove the AC power cord and place the green jumper back on header E49. Replace the computer hood and power cord.Hope this helps.REO
