Almost all system boards use a coin‑cell battery that helps retain BIOS settings, including the password. To reset the password, remove the

coin‑cell battery, wait for 15 to 30 seconds and replace the coin‑cell battery.

NOTE: For more information on the location of the coin‑cell battery and instruction on removing and replacing it, see the Service

Manual at www.dell.com/support.

Use system‑board jumper

NOTE: System-board jumper is available only on desktop computers.

Almost all system boards on desktop computers contain a jumper to clear CMOS settings along with the BIOS password. The location of

this jumper varies depending upon the system board. Look for the jumpers near the CMOS battery, usually labeled as CLR, CLEAR, CLEAR

CMOS, and so on.

For procedure on clearing passwords and clearing CMOS settings, see your computer Service Manual at www.dell.com/support.
