Packard Bell S606

OK i got the above named system and here is my problem the Cmos is password protected and there is no cmos jumper i can find: the specs are as follows:

it has a amd 233 chip, 128 of ram tht only counts to 95 and 3 or 4 other numbers the mother board is green has a intel chip on it along with a S3 for the onboard video and a crystal chip for sound also a SMC chip..

If anyone knows how to clear the CMOS that is all i need it seems to be working fine other than that:

Hope someone can help me cause i will make this MB out of fizbee

For the older computers you just take the cmos battery out, place it on some metal and put it back in. It should reset the cmos to default

Try leaving the Battery out for an hour or so in case the BIOS holds a charge for a while after the battery is removed. I don't know if this can happen, but I have heard many people say it dose. If there are capacitors in the circute it will.

Ground. What is "place it on some metal" about?

Sounds like it does hold a charge. That answers a question for me also.
