How do you erase the password memory for BIOS? My little nephew got into the BIOS at boot up and somehow set the password. Now i don't know how to get in there to change options. Thanks for your help.

There should be a "Clear CMOS" jumper on the motherboard. It will reset the PW, along with your other BIOS settings, to the factory default. Next time, put a password on entering the BIOS
