[youngnetworkadmin]

hey i was wondering if anyone knows how to reset the bios on a compaq deskpro 4000, i need to get in it so i can configure it to use a harddrive i added but, the company that i got it from disable acess to the bios (i think) and i looked on the board and i didnt see any jumpers or anything to disable it so if anyone knows the trick that would be nice.

Thanks

Take the battery out of the board for about 15 minutes with the board unplugged, then put the battery back in and bios will be reset.

Check the manual would be your first option.
