Bios Password

[Edgar]

I will upgrade an Avolites Pearl Expert, does not accept the Bios password 68340.
There is another way to access the Bios?

Thanks

Then the only way is to reset the bios. No worries, in the course of upgrading the bios, you'd need to apply the correct settings anyway.

- switch off the console
- open it
- there is a small jumper (usually red), located very close to one of the legs of the cage which sits on top of the motherboard. When you stand behind the console (where all the connectors are), it's on the left side of the MB, facing away from you. personally i find it helpful to remove the leg of the cage to grab this jumper - but be aware of loose washers.
- the jumper sits on a 3pin header, connecting two of those pins (say, the left and middle one). Set in in a way that it connects middle and right pin. Leave it there for some seconds, then move it back to the old position. Now the bios should be resetted.
- tighten everything, secure everything, close the desk, power it up, proceed...

Make sure you have an external display and keyboard at hand. Sometimes it happens that after a bios reset nothing of the internal components will work. In particular you are definitely doomed without an external (VGA) display: the Touchwing will not work, and the bios throws an error after reset ('Floppy not found') - which you cannot see without an external display connected, and cannot confirm without a working keyboard.
