Most (at least the ones I have) AT motherboards had the "password" jumper located on the front left side, about 1/3 of the way from the edge... Are there any unidentified jumpers ? It should be only a 3 pin one What's the model of motherboard ? There is probably a manual available somewhere on the net.
