cf-28 bios password

Got it from ebay yesterday, still waiting for the touchscreen to arrive
But the bios is password protected, and the floppy is also not working(could be disabled in the bios?) any suggestions? I have tried a few of the backdoor passwords with no luck removing the cmos battery does not seem to work. I read about shorting/grounding the pins but know one seemed to have luck with this. And with out the floppy i feel kinda hooped. anybody overcome the same issue?

 

I've cleared a couple by pulling the CMOS battery and starting it up without it. Clears everything out. But, you have to open the whole thing up to get to it which you may not have wanted to do.

As far as shorting/grounding, are you talking about the password bypass cable the service manual talks about? I was thinking I might try building one. Are you saying that people have tried this and it didn't work?

 

No I have not read that manual, i was talking about shorting the pins
http://www.go4expert.com/forums/showthread.php?t=114 i don't really want to try this unless i have to. Going to try pulling the battery and booting without

 

shame it isnt booting of the floopy,
it would have been much much easier then..........
good luck

 

Sorry... But they don't like us discussing cracking passwords in the open forum.

As far as the floppy goes... It may not be enabled in the BIOS.
