Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-hackers@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi, after deleting the User-password of a P/I-P55TP4N MB in the BIOS and forgetting the existing Superuser-Password I have a problem. No passwords->no boot->no BSD :-( The Handbook states to shorten jumper 13 for a while but I tried this with no success. Somewhere else it states that one should send the Board to the reseller but he is not available anymore... Is there a chance to set the NVRAM to the Factory-default = no passwords? The Board is a: Mainboard P/I-P55TP4N Award Modular BIOS v.4.50PG (#401A0-0155) (ROM PCI/ISA BIOS (PI-5XTP4)) (S/N: 034336222) The NVRAM is a DALLAS chip. Thanks.
