    Anyone know how to reset the UEFI password? I set one and have apparently forgotten it. If I understand my research to date you can't just pull the CMOS battery as you could for other boards. Is there a set of jumpers on the RBP 2013 motherboard if so I can take it apart and do that I just hate to take it apart if there is not a jumper to reset it with.

    They are all somewhat similar on the inside.

    Take a look at this:

    It LOOKS like the battery is probably the black disc wrapped in shrinkwrap that is connected to a plug with a braid of red and black wires. Check out the Step 7 image.

    I could be wrong, but it looks that way.

    Thanks for the reply! Looks to me as though you are right and that is the battery.
    My thoughts though are that the password is stored in NVRAM and removing the battery wont help. I think I will have to use a jumper method to clear it. Before I try taking it apart I was hoping to get some confirmation on the existence jumpers with this mother board.

    I would at least try removing the battery for a few minutes. I thought the same thing, that it would persist. Worth a try.
