    Hi guys,

    I am refurbishing a few Dell D630 laptops for a friends organization. I ran into a problem with a couple of the systems having a BIOS password set. Unplugging the CMOS battery for a while did not wipe the password. I know the trick on NON-quadro equipped systems on shorting the ship on the back under the memory slot to remove passwords. On the Quadro equipped motherboards is there any shortcut to wipe the passwords? If there isn't any easy way can anyone help me remove the passwords?

    Thanks!
