1.Power Off the system, and remove HDD, AC and Battery from the machine.

2.Open the back cover of the machine, and remove the Modem Board (see “Removing the Modem Board” on page 80.

3.Disconnect the RTC Battery cable and locate the G1 jumper.

4.Use an electric conductivity tool to short the two points of the HW Gap.

5.Plug in AC, keep the short condition on the HW Gap, and press Power Button to power on the system till BIOS POST finish. Then remove the tool from the HW Gap.

6.Restart system. Press F2 key to enter BIOS Setup menu.

7.If there is no Password request, BIOS Password is cleared. Otherwise, please follow the steps and try again.

NOTE: These steps are only for clearing BIOS Password (Supervisor Password and User Password).
