2. On the surface that faces "right" when viewing the chassis from the front find the Dip Switches
3. Turn Switch 5 to "ON" position (when "front" of card is to your "left" the "ON" position is to your right).

Answer
Fix for lost password:

I pulled my card out and it does not have any dip switches at all. it does have a battery, a push button says reset, and one jumper pin set that says clear nvram, I have tried all configutions with no luck.
