     @graf yep just funny that they won't help for an ancient computer that's obviously not stolen

     @Moon speaking from experience:
     
     remove the cmos battery, move the CMOS/BIOS FLASH jumper from 1-2 to 2-3 and power on for a couple seconds. reset the jumper and reinsert battery

     @roboneko @graf it's true but almost all locks are mainly meant just to keep honest people honest.

     @Moon @graf it's funny because in my experience reset instructions were in the manual so it wouldn't have done much good as an antitheft measure to begin with
