I need reset bios password to compaq motherboard 6541

SOURCE: Compaq Evo Motherboard

This mobo appears to be an MSI build and should have IDE drives attached.

SOURCE: reset motherboard bios

Both solution are correct in removing BIOS password, but sometimes removing the jumper when the computer is off wont remove the BIOS password while removing the jumper while the computer is on is definitely fine and 100% it will remove the bios password just like Voodoomox has said if you haven't tried it Tbirdfan1 you can do it in actual to prove that it wont damage the computer, After the BIOS password was remove select CDROM as the primary boot device then save the change the computer will reboot put the Opearting system installation CD then continue formatting and installing the system...

Hope that helps........
