These are the steps for reset password.  In general, remove the jumper, connect power and boot your computer on.  Wait until it boot, then shut it down.  Remove power, open the chassis and put the jumper back onto the pins.

Steps

  1. Turn off the computer and disconnect the power cable from the computer.
  2. Remove the left-side cover.
  3. Lay the computer on its right side.
  4. Locate the 2-pin password reset jumper on the system board.
  5. Ensure that the jumper is on the pair of password pins (JM34) and remove the jumper.
  6. Plug the power cable to the computer and turn on the computer to clear the password.
  7. Wait for until the desktop is loaded and then shut down the computer.
  8. Disconnect the power cable from the computer.
  9. Replace the jumper on the pair of password pins (JM34).
  10. Replace the left-side cover.
