Erasing a Password:
1. If you know the current password, but want to disable password checking,
follow the procedure for changing the password. When Setup prompts for the
new password, simply press [ENTER]. You will see a message indicating that
the password is disabled.
2. If you do not know the current password, the CMOS must be cleared by
removing the battery for a while and then re-installing it back. *This will clear
all user-defined BIOS Setup options.
