CatLady, you told doniam >You need the motherboard manual. There should be a jumper switch which will erase the password. But it may also reset all the CMOS settings back to the original defaults.<

Wouldn't pulling the battery achieve the same thing if he had no manual?

Happend to me before on an older Dell. I had to call and ask what jumper to disable on the MB.

All that jumper controled was the CMOS PW.
