Chapter 10 Deleting A Password; Erase Old Password - Kontron CP6500-V User Manual

Chapter 10
If you forget the passwords you set up through CP6500-V Setup, the only way you can
reset the password is to erase the system configuration information where the passwords
are stored. System configuration data is stored in CMOS RAM, a type of memory that
consumes very little power.

Erase Old Password

You can drain CMOS RAM power by using the CMOS drain jumper on the motherboard,
or by removing the battery. CMOS RAM looses it content including the password when it
is drained.
Note:
For more information on draining CMOS using the drain jumper, see the motherboard
user's manual.
