CPW Clear Password CPW is a 2-pin berg that allows you to delete the system BIOS
password should you forget the password. CPW should be OPEN at all times
during normal operation. Should you forget the password: turn power off,
remove the computer cover, turn power on, place a shorting bridge (shunt) on
CPW for a few seconds, then turn power off again. Reboot the computer and
re-enter all system configuration information, because you have just erased all
of it.
