Clearing A Password - NEC POWERMATE 8100 Series Service And Reference Manual

Clearing a Password

If a password is forgotten or needs to be changed, use the following procedure
to clear the current password and set a new one.
Jumpers are set correctly at the factory for the system
configuration. Only change (or check) the appropriate
jumper setting if you forgot your password or want to change
the password.
1. Access the BIOS Setup utility and record any customized settings. See
"BIOS Setup" in Section 2.
Starting the system in Configure mode resets BIOS settings
to their factory defaults. Before jumpering the system for
Configure mode, write down any customized BIOS settings.
2. Power off and unplug the system and any peripherals.
The system power must be off before removing the cover
and changing a jumper setting.
3. Remove the system unit cover (see "Removing the System Unit Cover").
4. Locate jumper block J5G1 on the system board.
5. Move the jumper from pins 1 and 2 (Normal mode) to pins 2 and 3
(Configure mode). This jumper setting brings the system up in Configure
mode when rebooted.
6. Replace the system unit cover. Connect system power cables and external
options.
7. Power on the system. The BIOS Setup utility launches immediately after
POST. No password is required. The Maintenance menu is active.
