A friend donated me an old Fujitsu (now Siemens?) Ergopro X PC a few days ago. The PC is of the type type nr. X354/166-32-2.0GB, meaning a P166 with 32 MB RAM, 2.0 GBytes disk, but extended to 64 MBytes RAM. It's not the latest and fastest, but i kind of like the fact that it is a very quiet machine..
Unfortunately, the thing has a BIOS setup password. Another misfortune is the fact that the C-mos battery is dead. These Fujisu PC's seem *not* to follow the 'standard' to keep the BIOS password in the C-mos RAM, but they seem to store it 'elsewhere'. Clearing the C-mos RAM will -in this case- not clear the BIOS password :-( Since the C-mos RAM is unpowered, it cannot boot, because it needs setup info, but the setup info cannot be set because it has a BIOS password... Is there any way to get this machine 'unlocked'? bye, Peter Faasse -- Author: Faasse, P.R.
