4.10.3 Password

Clear

Jumper

If the user or administrator password(s) is lost or forgotten, moving the password clear jumper
(J17) to the clear position will clear both passwords. The BIOS determines if the password clear
jumper is in the clear position during BIOS POST and clears any passwords if present. The
password clear jumper must be restored to its original position before a new password(s) can be
set.
