Danel, Try unplugging the unit, and removing the battery. When you pop it back in, it should reset the defaults for the motherboard BIOS settings.
>>> Daniel Reuter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 08/08/00 09:25AM >>> Hello there, I found a pretty nice 486 PCI-motherboard in the bulk waste last week, which I would like to use as secondary computer with debian. The board is working, but unfortunately, it was setup in a way that you can only boot from harddisk, and shadow RAM was enabled. So I tried to change the settings, but the preliminary user has installed a Setup-Password, so that I can't access the BIOS. I know, that there are ways to get around this, but I don't know how to do it in this special case. So does anybody know where to find the necessary information? Is there a tool for Linux or DOS to access and change BIOS-settings (I could plugin the harddisk from another computer and try to boot into Linux or use the small DOS-partition I have on this disk). Or is there some kind of cheat password, which will always work? The BIOS is a Phoenix version 4.04. Regards, Daniel -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null
