I have a friend who has inadvertently added a password to the bios and 
then forgotten it. Is there an easy way to reset the bios , without
attempting to remove the battery ? 
I don't know the bios manufacturer . 
Is there  a default password for AMI bios ,for example? 

Thanks for any help,

Doug Finlayson
