intel E139761 motherboard

[kev1309]

I recently got a Dell Dimension XPS R400 tower with an intel E139761 motherboard in it. It is actually running a pentium II 400 Mhz. It is not the server type motherboard.
Unfortunately there is a bios password and i just can't remove it.

I tried removing the battery but it doesn't work. There should be a way of doing it by changing a jumper configuration.
Can a nyone help me on that plz. Or let me know where i can get a manual for this motherboard.
Thx.

1. Did you keep the battery out for at least 10 minutes ?
2. Dell has a backdoor password to the bios. Try " Dell"
3. What bios is this ? ami, award, ?
