whats the motherboard model?
Usually there is a Jumper pin on the motherboard that you remove and it resets the password, its located near the BIOS chip.

The desktop don't have any white jumper pins on the motherboard is Intel Desktop Board D865GLC/D865PE50. :eek:

Dose have a single blue jumper just take this out then in again or leave this out?.

Who is the BIOS manufacture? Award, Phoenix etc.. they all have a backdoor password that bypasses any that are set up, which will let you get in the Bios and reset it. Let me know and i'll find out for you

Usually you take the pin out turn the computer on it it should say somthing like bios defaults reset.
Put the pin back in and restart. :j

Think by Research Machines their main dos password is RM which not allow me to use this password which I tried many times just keeps on failing! because the machine is second hand. :eek:
