Erasing a Lost or Forgotten Administrator Password:
This section applies to
lost or forgotten administrator passwords that are not protected by enhanced
security. For information on lost or forgotten passwords that are protected by
enhanced security, refer to “Erasing a Lost or Forgotten Administrator Password
Protected by Enhanced Security” on page 60.
If you have lost or forgotten your administrator password and enhanced security is
disabled, you must remove the computer cover and move the CMOS Clear jumper
(also referred to as the password jumper) on the system board in order to erase the
password so that you can regain access to the Configuration/Setup Utility program.
See “Disconnecting Cables and Removing the Cover” on page 80 for instructions on
removing the computer cover and moving jumpers. Refer to the system board label
inside the computer for the location of the CMOS Clear (password) jumper.
Important
If you move the CMOS Clear jumper, you will lose all setup data stored in the
computer, and you will need to reconfigure the computer. Use the
Configuration/Setup Utility program to reconfigure the computer and to set a
new password.
