    Hi,

    I have to change the boot order on one computer (so i can reinstall the windows), however there is a bios password, and noone at work knows it. Do you have any idea, how can i reset this password?

    As mentioned in the title, the mainboard is Asus P2B-S.

    Thanks in advance,
    s7orm

    Welcome to HWF.
    You'll have to clear the CMOS to do that. Please refer to the manual of the mobo. Or do it this way: Open the case of the computer. There should be a lithium battery on the motherboard. Remove it, and then startup the computer. It should start beeping. So then turn it off and re-insert the battery. Now turn it back on. That should've reset the bios.
    edit: Keep in mind that the time and date have been reset as well.

    i'd go only with the manual, because you usually have to move some jumpers on the motherboart itself.
