    I have an old system that I acquired and there is a bios password. I get an error on start up saying that I need to run the bios. If I could get to a command prompt, I have a tool that I could run to reset the bios password. I have tried some backdoor and default passwords with no luck. I read that if the first five bytes of sector 1 (the second sector) of a floppy in drive a are "4B 45 59 00 00" then it will bypass the password. I assume I need some kind of hex editor do that. What program should I use?

    I can't find the jumper to reset the cmos, I don't even think there is a battery.
