Need to reset BIOS password 1

[Pinkman]

I have a older Dell Latitude LM laptop that was given to me to be repaired and have Win98 installed on it.&nbsp;&nbsp;I installed a new HD and memory - there is only one problem.&nbsp;&nbsp;I cannot get into the bios to autodetect the HD - it is password protected.&nbsp;&nbsp;There is no floppy so I cannot boot from a floppy into Win98.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><br>I have an external floppy (parallel) but it will not boot from it.&nbsp;&nbsp;I think the parallel port is disabled via the bios - but I will never know if I can't get in to the bios.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><br>Dell of course is willing to charge me reset the bios password, but I am hoping someone can help me save some $$$$.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><br>I also can not find a reset switch on the MB of the laptop.<br><br>PLEASE HELP!!<br><br>Thanks for any responses,<br>Pinkman

one way to do that is to take the battery off the mother board, its the one that looks like a giant hearing-aid battery. anyway, take it out and leave it out for about 2 to 5 hours, this clears the BIOS clock and password.<br><br>please tell me if this helps<br><A HREF="mailtoeitzza@yahoo.com">peitzza@yahoo.com</A> <p>Peter Heaton<br><a href=mailto:heaton@characterlink.net>heaton@characterlink.net</a><br><a href=
