Clearing the Password
If you do not know the power-on password, you may both clear and disable it by moving the jumper
on the password header located on the system board. The password header is labeled “E6 Password”
on the Pentium system board and labeled “Password” on the Pentium II system board.
The password header has three pins. The power-on password comes enabled by default with the
jumper on pins 5 and 6. To clear or disable the power-on password, move the jumper to pins 6 and 7.
