Additional Information: I searched for Micron BIOS Passwords on the internet and came up with two: "sldkj754" and "xyzall" Neither of which worked, I also e-mailed Micron Tech Support who replied with the following: “The J8B1 clears the CMOS. What you do with both is move it to the 2-3 setting to clear each. If you want to clear the Password, set the J8B2 jumper to the 2-3 portion and then power on for 10 seconds, then turn back off, and reset the jumper to the 1-2 position. If you need to clear the CMOS settings, the J8B1 needs to be set to the 2-3 setting, turned on for 10 seconds and then turned off, and set back to the 1-2 setting.” What need to be done was to change the jumper setting as indicated and let the system completely power up, this will automatically take you to the BIOS Setup Screen where you can clear all passwords or change the configuration if need be. Once the changes have been made the jumper setting will need to be returned to allow for standard operation of the computer. I am now however back to where I was prior to replacing the CMOS battery with a blank screen and the words “No Operating System Found”
