I don't know if that'll work though. Many systems made these days store
all info in an eeprom. Take out the battery, and all that the system will
forget by the morning is the internal time. Password will be intact.
I have no idea if pullign the battery will work for the libretto though.
I had several laptops that were locked up. I had to borrow a friend's SMT rig
and pull the eeprom ships and solder in blank ones to reset the password.
But if it requires a dongle to reset the password, odds are it's an
eeprom thing, pulling the cmos battery will do no good but waste time and spin
the wheels. Best go for the dongle approach.
