 Topic: Clearing CMOSPosted: 10 May 2024 at 5:22am |

I have lost my bios password on my Asrock B450 Pro4, I went to look at the manual on how to reset my Bios password, and it told me to short my CMOS pins on my motherboard with a jumper cap, but I don't have a jumper cap to short it with. Do any of you guys have any idea on how to do this without the jumper cap or where to order a new one?

you can just unplug or switch off the power supply and remove the cmos battery (looks like a watch battery)

You?™re absolutely right! I think you have a lot of experience in fixing computers. I don?™t know how to upload a picture of the CMOS battery, but if I knew how, I?™d share it to make it easier for everyone to find. |

I recommend using a small conductive object like a screwdriver or paperclip to touch and short the CMOS pins for 10-15 seconds. Alternatively, you can reset the CMOS by removing the motherboard battery, waiting 5-10 minutes, and reinserting it.

You can use a small conductive object like a screwdriver or paperclip to temporarily connect the two CMOS pins if you don't have a jumper cap, free online games, but make sure to completely turn off the power before doing so to avoid damage.

Use a conductive metal object (such as the tip of a small screwdriver, a straightened paperclip, or the sharp end of a metal pencil) to touch and hold both CLRCMOS1 Escape Road pins for about 5 to 10 seconds. This will discharge any remaining charge and reset the CMOS.
