How to Disable the BIOS Password

Some computer systems have a setting in the BIOS Setup to disable the password. The BIOS Setup is accessed with the F1, F2 or DEL key during boot up.

If you have forgotten your password, most systems have a jumper on the motherboard that can be pulled off to clear the password. If there is no jumper available, you can also remove the battery for 5 minutes to clear CMOS.

For assistance with this process we recommend that you contact Technical Support for more interactive support or you may choose to go to a Authorized Service Center. There may be a consulting charge for this service.

ESD WARNING:
Your body and other substances can store a charge. Please be aware that precautions should be taken against electrostatic discharge (ESD) whenever the case is opened. During installation of upgrades please maintain contact with a grounded source, such as your computer's frame, or use a grounding strap.

Simply breaking the seal will not void the manufacturer's warranty. Damage resulting from improper grounding may not be covered under the manufacturer's warranty if these precautions are not taken.
