Help!
I bought this laptop and it has a lock on cmos and of course I don't know
the password. I took it apart looking for the cmos battery but couldn't
locate it. Can someone help me reset it so I can use the machine?

The person that knows is getting my vote to win the lottery!
Thank you!

Depends on whether you're referring to a Power On Password:

Or a Supervisor Password: http://www.nortek.on.ca/hdd_pw.html#Supervisor
