Hi rascnekem,
The system Password can be changed through the system BIOS by navigating to the security settings:
BIOS > Security > System Password or Admin Password
The passwords can also be hardware reset using the motherboard jumpers:
Password Enable Jumper
PSWD - Password enable. The system password will be cleared and disabled when the system is started with this jumper removed.
Pins 1-2 shorted enables password
