- There is another quick way to get into CMOS with password protection.
- Unplug your IDE drive or Floppy, change the size of the RAM. The
- BIOS on start up will detect mis-match CMOS and will generally let
- you into setup. Some really recent BIOS will not let you do this. If
- this is the case, you must discharge your CMOS by whatever means
- available on the motherboard.
-
- The DTK bios does put you into setup on configuration mis-match even
- with password protection enabled.
