If you know the exact model and manufacturer, there's a good chance I or
someone else on these lists will have a book or know the jumper - does the
mobo have it marked anywhere?

Even though you can identify the chipset and the bios manufacturer, there
would be oodles of mobos out there with the same chipset and bios, but will
have the jumper labelled differently or in a different location.

Subject: [Oz-ISP] [OT] Clearing a BIOS password


I have an AT mobo with Intel VX chipset and Award BIOS which has the BIOS
password set.

I can see no obvious jumper on the mobo to clear the password, neither can
I see anything I recognise as a battery, though there are a couple of
small solder pads on the mobo with a battery symbol between them.

I think this might be a case of shorting out something, but just what?

TIA.
