briefly explain what short jumper means... im one big n0ob when it comes to motherboards and stuff like that.
In your motherboard manual , look for something called Clear CMOS. That's also the same as shorting out the jumpers. That gets rid of all the CMOS settings including passwords, and sets them to default. Usually clearing the CMOS involves shorting out two jumper pins, which means connecting both pins together to create a short. Hope this helps.

You can also delete the BIOS password from the dos prompt! (Not sure it works in NT/w2k/xp if you are using it boot from a floppy) Here is what you should do:
At the C:\> prompt, type:
DEBUG
and hit Enter. You'll see a dash (-) at the DEBUG prompt. Now type:
o 70 2e
which will show as -o 70 2e at the DEBUG prompt. Hit Enter. Then type:
o 71 ff
and hit Enter. Finally type:
Q
and hit Enter one last time, to quit DEBUG, back to the C:\> prompt.
After that just reboot the computer and enter the BIOS!

Some systems have their BIOS password protected. Often done with office machines, because they don't want anyone to mess with the BIOS. You can remove the password by moving a jumper on the MB. The jumper is 3 pronged and located close to the BIOS battery. Sometimes it is labeled as BIOS or Pwd. Move the jumper to the other 2 prongs and you password protection will be gone.
I ran into this problem when I bought a used Dell at an office sale. Came home and I was unable to ad a CD ROM, because the BIOS was password protected.
Have fun...

I have a Dell Latitude C840. Well belongs to Co-worker. I was trying to reload OS to XP Pro Due to loss of critical or corrupted files unable to access other users than Administrator. I can't seem to get into BIOS to change boot seq. Config setup is disabled and requires a password to change settings. I attempt to remove HDD to force boot from Floppy but says no boot device. And I do not have a system recovery disc. Incert OS CD-ROM and will not alow me to overwrite. Any suggestions?
