bypass bios password on the 9100

I know there are some backdoor passwords to bypass a bios password but im not sure what they are. i really need to know for a different computer that im working on but i only have time to mess with it on my home computer. is there a list of backdoor passwords i can get somewhere and how do i tell what kind of BIOS it is (Award, AMI, etc.)?

Whoops. Yeah, that was totally the wrong system. Not sure where I got 4700 from. (:

At any rate, see if the same jumper exists on the 9100.

LTIGuy, Click here for the password jumper location on the Dimension 9100 model.

"...are there any easy ways to find that jumper on different computers without looking at a diagram or anything?"

The jumpers should be labeled right on the motherboard as to their purpose. The labeling might be in abbreviated terms and maybe hard to see with the board mounted in the system. The aid of a small flashlight will definitely help.
