Does The Lenovo G570 Have A Cmos Battery

I have forgotten the HDD password on my Lenovo G570 and I researched how to reset it and it stated that I need to remove the CMOS battery for 60 seconds and that should reset laptop so I don't have to enter in the HDD password. Is this true and If not how can I bypass the HDD password?

the battery is on the main motherboard. to get to it:
1) remove all power supplies
2) remove the keyboard
3) remove the screws on the bottom, leaving the covers and the one that's holding the optical drive (there's an on/off button engravement nex to it)
4) flip it over and remove the cover around the keyboard, be careful with the connection cables, I think some need to be disconected. please let me know if this was helpful
