6.2.6.2. Clearing the BIOS Password
If the user and/or administrator password is lost or forgotten, clear both passwords by moving the password clear
jumper into the clear position.
The BIOS determines if the password clear jumper is in the clear position during BIOS POST and clears any passwords
if necessary. The password clear jumper must be restored to its original position for the new password to remain set.
6.2.6.3. Clearing the CMOS
The CMOS clear jumper uses RTCRST# to:
 Clear CMOS values.
 Set the RTC power well configuration bits to default.
To compatible legacy BIOS for user who is used to use legacy BIOS, BIOS provide the function to restore the default settings
of BIOS Setup when CMOS is cleared, even though UEFI BIOS store BIOS settings to NVRAM.
There are two methods to clear the CMOS:
 Clear the CMOS jumper.
Remove the CMOS battery when the system is in AC OFF status.

Important: After clearing the CMOS, the BIOS setup default is restored, but the password that
was set by the user is still reserved.
