Remember the Password
Keep a record of the new password when the password is
changed. If you forget the password, you must erase the
system configuration information in NVRAM. See (Deleting
a Password) for information about erasing system
configuration information.
Deleting a Password
If you forget the passwords you set up through CMOS
Setup, the only way you can reset the password is to
erase the system configuration information where the
passwords are stored. System configuration data is stored
in CMOS RAM, a type of memory that consumes very little
power. You can drain CMOS RAM power by removing the
battery or resetting CMOS information using the CMOS
erase jumper.
