Asunto: [PCBUILD] BIOS setup password


Hi..

One of the PCs in my company ( Acermate 433, BIOS date 1992) is protected by
password for BIOS setup.Only the last user know it. He resign one year ago.
Can anybody help me on how to reset the password. What I know is, I've to
set the CMOS jumper or takeout the CMOS battery and put it again.But I don't
have the motherboard manual, so I don't know the right pins. Is there any
risk for the data in the HD if I do that?

Thanks
Rizal Sharif
