yeah that would have been a good idea. i ended up taking the whole machine apart looking in vain for a jumper to reset the bios. the good news is in the process i somehow managed to reset it by accident. don't know how i did it but when i put it all back together, the date was set to 1996 and the password (it was a power-up password) was gone. thanks for the reply.
