I have a strange issue with this cmos. When I press f2 to get into the cmos it asks me for a password so I press enter and it lets me in, and I can change every setting, but if I try to change the password for supervisor, if I press enter it says incorrect password. How am I supposed to set a password if It won't let me. I even did the jumper on the motherboard and it didn't fix it, should I remove the battery and see if that works, or reflash the bios.

When using the onboard jumper you also need to unplug the computer or the settings will not be cleared. Afterward you need to reset many of the settings.

Might check the documentation for that model. Sometimes the jumper can damage the unit if not used correctly. Like above if the plug was in it might cause errors to damage.
Sometimes there is bios access and supervisor access. Two different passwords.
In any case the last thing I'd try is a bios reflash. They do/can go bad.
I read it wrong and answer it wrong too. So get off my case you peanut.

if you dont need it forget about it
most likley you wont need it.and as jefro said dont flash the bios
only flash a bios when you are 100% sure you have nothing to lose.all text needs typos. There there for the reader to find,to distract them from the total lack of content.
google it! wasnt the answer to the question i asked so dont be dense and give me that repl
