I am actually looking for the same info while I wait for my BIOS settings to DIE !!! on a Compaq Armada 4210T. Here is the recommended method by Compaq: 1 - Disconnect mains power and remove battery pack(s) (4210T has 2x batteries) 2 - Remove CMOS/Real Time Clock battery. On the 4210T it is located in the RAM flap on the notebook underside 3 - Wait 5 minutes ** 4 - Replace the CMOS/RTC battery, do not replace the notebook battery pack(s) yet. 5 - Connect mains power and boot the notebook. Theoretically you should be presented with the "set date/time" prompt and no password ** 6 - Set date and time, power down, replace batteries, power up and presto!! ** I am finding that this isnt working, so have decided to modify step 3 above for about an hour Hopefully this works, I am writing up this while I bide my time - damn this hour is going slow !! Cheers Dean |
