Does CMOS clear always when battery is removed?
Hi
I got 40 something systems for our business (dell optiplex GX110) and one of them has a bios password put in place by the previous owners. I breifly removed the battery but when I rebooted the password remains. Any thoughts? |

leave the battery out for 30 minits and remove the plug as well or check the mother board for a clear cmos jumper

The Optiplex has a separate clear password jumper.
