Password Jumper

Hello,  I was looking through my Dell Dimensions 2400 Manual and came across something that i was not familiar with.  What is a password jumpter that is found on the motherboard?  Thanks, Matt

The password jumper on your motherboard can reset your computer's password if you forget it for some reason.

tbs010,

The password that the jumper will reset is a BIOS password, not any password associated with accounts in your operating system. For a bit more information see this.
