Just to be clear, did you put the CMOS batteries back in?

Are you able to click "OK" on the error screen?

yes and yes it points to a book

OK, then it sounds like the only way around it, is to replace the systemboards, since there was a Supervisor Password.

I know that the Power-On password can be bypassed, but the Supervisor Password cannot...atleast not without paying an arm and a leg...or building some strange configuration to read the EEPROM values.

I will tell you though that TP600 System Boards are cheaper that just about anyone would charge to remove the password.
