Howto hw reset bios settings?

Post by startit_ltd »

Hi,

I made a quick test some weeks ago, turned on user and supervisor passwords.
Now when I tried to get supervisor access, unfortunately only the user passwords is working.
In other words, supervisor password forgotten :)

Is there a way to reset all the bios settings somehow?

Thank you!
István

As I read on the similar fit-pc3 topic on the forum, it should be a non-trivial task.
It is not a problem, but it would be nice to know, what to do.

I found the label on the board: RST_CMOS, but it has only holes, not jumper pins. (I measured 2.98V on them, so, it has battery connection, which battery not easily removable - I did not remove).

So, what's next? :)

So, thanks for Gabriel, now it is clear, it is possible to reset the bios settings, but not the master password!

A big fat WARNING here: do not forget your bios master password, otherwise you have to RMA the unit.
