Most mobo's have a jumper sequence which can clear bios passwords. The trick is: a) To have the correct manual in order to locate how that's done; b) to have a trained pair of eyes (& I do mean trained) to interpret the diagram, because that's how the material is normally presented; & c) To then be able to locate the appropriate jumpers on the motherboard. But, here's 1 thing--if u can flash the bios from a floppy & find the proper bios for the board, u may be able to do it that way.
