Manually clearing CMOS and passwords
To clear CMOS and Passwords manually:
1 Disconnect the AC adapter from the e-pc, remove the hard drive
compartment cover then the hard drive. Refer to "Removing the hard
disk drive" on page 34.
2 Set the Clear CMOS/Password switch to ON.
3 Replace the hard disk drive cover and the hard disk drive (refer to
"Replacing the hard disk" on page 35) then reconnect the AC adapter.
4 Turn on the e-pc. This will erase the CMOS memory.
Wait until the e-pc has restarted. A message will be displayed saying
that the configuration has been cleared.
5 Turn off the e-pc, disconnect the AC adapter, then remove the hard disk
drive cover and hard disk drive.
6 Set the clear CMOS/Password switch to OFF to re-enable the
configuration.
7 Replace the hard disk drive and hard disk drive cover, then reconnect
the AC adapter.
8 Switch on the e-pc. The e-pc will start more slowly than usual because
it will load the default configuration values.
9 Press F2 to enter the HP Setup program. Update the necessary fields,
such as date and time, passwords, and Security settings, then save and
exit the Setup program. The e-pc will restart with the new
configuration.
