2. Clearing the BIOS using the motherboard Jumper 
 

The jumpers on the system motherboard located next to the coin-cell battery are the NVRAM_CLR and PWRD_EN jumpers.
These can be used to reset your BIOS.

Example Motherboard

  2. Turn off the system, including any attached peripherals, and disconnect the system from the electrical outlet
  3. Open the System
  4. Remove the jumper plug from the NVRAM_CLR jumper [See the Figure above to locate the password jumper (labeled NVRAM_CLR) on the system board]
  5. Move the Jumper from Pin's 3-5 to pins 1-3.
  6. Close the system, reconnect power cables
  7. Turn the system on for 10 s
  8. Turn the system off
  9. Open the system
  10. Move the jumper back to Pins 3-5 (default)
