30832 2002-01-11 23:29:00 we decided to go from win 95 to win98 so formated HD and installed from CD. But kept getting variouse faults, corrupt files, missing etc.So I told her to get all the passwords from friend who gave it her. But she then gotinto Setup and now we get a unknown password request both during Bootup and Setup.
Have tried bridging for 5 mins as per www.unicore.com/techsupport/tips/tip1006.htm.
Where can I get the CLRCMOS.ZIP file or what else can I do?

30833 2002-01-12 00:49:00 I can't quite understand what you are talking about.

Are you talking about the bios password? so that you can get into your cmos to alter the bios settings.

Why on earth did it have one anyway?

And what exactly do you plan to alter when you do get in?

It sounds like you have set the cmos to its default settings, does it still boot up?

Can you try and explain a bit more, in order for us to help you.

30834 2002-01-12 03:43:00 The possword on the BIOS should be deleted by using the appropriate jumper. I would give it more than five minutes. Leave it overnight. Remember as the first thing to do in the BIOS when you get access is to explicitly set it to not be passworded. Then save that state.

If you still can't get in, tell us what BIOS it is: Award, Phoenix ... etc. Offhand, you can get into Award BIOS with 'AWARD/SW'. I have a list somewhere ...
