I recently acquired a Compaq Armada M700 laptop, and it's really cool, but right now it's basically unusable because it complains about bad BIOS settings and the BIOS is locked. Naturally, I removed the CMOS battery but was shocked to find that even without the battery installed the BIOS is still locked:
Is there some kind of jumper or switch I need to adjust to clear the password, then? I couldn't find one while I was inside the machine.
