Steps for Clearing BIOS Password Check
If users set BIOS Password (Supervisor Password and/or User Password) for a security reason, BIOS will ask the password during systems POST or when systems enter to BIOS Setup menu. However, once it is necessary to bypass the password check, users need to short the HW Gap to clear the password by the following steps:
1.Power Off the system, and remove HDD, AC and Battery from the machine.
2.Open the back cover of the machine.
3.Disconnect the RTC Battery cable and locate the G1 jumper.
