password reset pv34x
Hi I'm having trouble resetting the supervisor password on a p3v4x
motherboard. I have followed the instruction in the manual by taking out the button battery, shorting the two terminals as per the manual then restarting the PC. I know he bios clears because the CPU speed changed but after post test for going into bios setup it still asks for the password. Anyone have any ideas? -- Regards, Mike Bennett www.mbrocketry.com |

Yes, I unplugged the power cord and even the power supply in case there
was some capacitor holding a charge keeping the bios memory alive and letting it sit overnight. I also tried typing anything in the password, and even just hitting enter. Still no luck. Any other ideas? did you unplug the system if you did try typing in a password of your choice and see if that works "Mike Bennett" wrote in message news:QUgmc.29785$IG1.1384816@attbi_s04...

I don't know if this would work but as a last effort you might try flashing
the bios. I have used many p3v4x boards and never had the problem. Matter of fact still running one on a backup system. good luck "Mike Bennett" wrote in message news:QUgmc.29785$IG1.1384816@attbi_s04...

Hey BigJim, I would have tried that too, but the password is the
supervisor password. In other words, it won't even read the hard drive or floppy first. You have to enter the password in order to do anything. Otherwise I could re-flash or run password crackers.

Try unplugging the power but leave the battery in, then reset with the
jumper, leave the jumper over the pin for 30 seconds then return the jumper to the regular position and plug it back in and power it up.
