Over the past few days, I've run across a couple of machines that have
baffled me.  The most recent, a '486/33 that had a passworded CMOS.  I
disconnected the build-in battery, unplugged the power supply and
removed all the jumpers on the board (didn't know which one was for CMOS
clear).  I let it sit for a few minutes before reconnecting the power
supply and powering it up.  Still passworded.  Powered off and replaced
all of the jumpers.  Upon powering up again, there was no video.  Even
using a different video card didn't matter.  What did I do wrong?  What
happened.  Any ideas how I can correct this?  I'm stumped.  TIA
