However, you can reset the motherboard bios using the jumper. Just read the manual to identify the CMOS reset jumper.

To elaborate on the above reply, simply move the jumper momemtarily from the run position to the clear position and return to the run position. Perform this task with the computer unplugged from the wall. Do not attempt to run the computer with the jumper in the clear position or off completely. To locate the jumper you may need to consult your MBoard manual. If you don't have a manual, post back.
