I have Pentium III 733 MHZ TI810-ES motherboard. I have forgot the password of of BIOS Setup. I removed the CMOS Battery too but it didn't worked. I tried to locate the jumper near the Battery but I couldn't find it.
Can anyone tell me how to clear the pasword?

How long did you have the CMOS battery out? Sometimes it only takes a couple minutes, but I've heard it could take much longer. I suggest leaving it out for at least a day and see what happens.

some claim shorting the battery contacts (without the battery of course) can reduce the time it takes for the CMOS to clear.

What is the company that made your motherboard?

Bishal,

There should be a marking next to the jumper somewhat similar to CLR_CMOS in the vacinity of the CMOS Battery.

It normally has 3 pins.
The jumper will be on the middle pin and one of the others. This is Normal Operation.

Remove the jumper and put it on the middle pin and the pin not used in Normal Operation.

This will clear the CMOS Settings.

Be sure to place the jumper back to the Normal Operation setting.

HTH

Good Day!
Mesich

Check for tools to read the password. There are some around that can tell you it. Not all BIOS passwords can be cleared by taking the battery out. Search google for BIOS PASSWORD RECOVERY
