reset bios password not working poweredge r720xd

I want to change the boot sequence on a poweredge r720xd but I don't know the setup password. According the manual I have to reset the PWRD_EN jumper on the systemboard. When I do this nothing happened.  When I press F2 I only have readonly access at the bios and I can't access iDRAC. Is there another way to remove/reset the setup password ? 

I also did a reset of the NVRAM_CLR jumper. At boottime the nvram is cleared but it brings me not closer to a solution.

Hello

Is there another way to remove/reset the setup password ? 

No

I also did a reset of the NVRAM_CLR jumper.

The password reset jumper will clear any BIOS password, and you will not be prompted for a password. The NVRAM jumper will clear all BIOS settings and reset them to default.

I would suggest that you make sure you are performing the clear properly. You should shut the system down, disconnect power cords, move the jumpers, reconnect power, turn the system on, and wait for the system to stop booting. Once the system stops booting shut it back down, disconnect power cords, move the jumpers back, reconnect power, and then turn the system back on.

Thanks
