Chapter 4 Deleting a Password 71 4 Deleting a Password If you forget the passwords you set up through WINBIOS Setup, the only way you can restart the computer is to erase the system configuration information where the passwords are stored. System configuration data is stored in CMOS RAM, a type of memory that consumes very little power.
Pegasus PCI Motherboard User’s Guide 72 Avoid Static Electricity Static electricity can damage the motherboard and other computer components. Keep the motherboard in the anti-static bag until it is to be installed. Wear an anti-static wrist grounding strap before handling the motherboard.
