Shorting the post on the mother board will remove all bios information along
with any passwords.

   about this password problem ... I was told that by taking out the battery
   of the motherboard and then attaching the positive and negative poles
   with a little cable would remove the BIOS password.

   Has anybody done such a thing? I would work or it would burn the mobo.

   Thanks.
