hello, greetings from Mexico, I hope you can help me and I would like to know if you know how to do the bios reset because it asks for a password, it is a dell 7080 micro, it is by rtc method, how much would you charge me to help me do it remotely... HELPPPP
Hello, For that model and others the jumper is gone. Now, to reset the BIOS password you’ll meed to: with the computer connected to the power but turned off you need to press the power button for 30 seconds, not 40 not 20. Warning: this process resets the bios config to factory settings, meaning if you have a specific configuration in the bios, that will be lost. Hope it helps Thanks for the comment
Hello, I don't think it's related to the BIOS, as it doesn't control permissions in the operating system for Windows or Linux. I'd think the issue lies on the permissions your account has on the OS windows/linux. Now, to reset the BIOS settings, normally you need to remove the CMOS battery on the motherboard for around 1 minute, put it back again and turn on the computer. Hope it helps Thanks for the comment!
If the host is not connected to AC power for a long time, will the CMOS battery run out quickly? Every time I boot, the BIOS SETUP option appears. Press F1 to start the operating system.
Hello Yan, The same happened to me with a Dell Optiplex 30XX after i reset the Bios password. What solved the issue in my case was: Power down the computer, disconnect any USB devices, monitor and power cord, press the power button for 10-20 secs, release the power button. Next, connect everything back again. This is done to clear any remaining power in the capacitor on the motherboard. After that the message was not shown again. Hope it helps Thanks for the comment!
Hello, thank you for the brief explanation. I have dell optiplex 3040, after I change cmos battery, it always shown message “time of day not set”, several solutions i tried it didn’t work such as - change again the cmos bat with new one - update bios to the new one, I did it twice, the result was same - reset cmos by removing jumper pin for 30 sec place it in another pin and put it back again. - try your step in this video All step did not work 🥲😥 Do you have any solutions for this? Kindly advise Thank you
Hi, Ok, I’d try, after you replaced the old cmos battery and saved the configs you made in the bios like time/date, disconnect everything from the computer, from keyboard to power cable. Press the power button for 20-30 secs, that will clean up all the power stored in the capacitors. Then, connect everything back and see if it still show the message. Hope it help Thanks for the comment
@@MyITWorkshop Hi, thank you for your kind response. I already tried 3 times but the result was same, it's only happened when the power is off (UPS off) then put it on again and start the booting. No message was appear if I shutdown with UPS is on, maybe the electricity is there. When try your step, I don't release the CMOS battery and place it again, just unplugged all the components and press the power for 30 secs. Do I need to unplug and plug the CMOS, kindly advise. Thanks a lot
Trying to unlock a 5080, and I see some posts below trying the 30 seconds power press reset, but it doesn't work. Is there a solution for the 5080 and similar motherboards without a jumper yet?
Hello, This has been asked before. For these new models that dont have a jumper, you will need to reach out to Dell support so they can generate a master password based on your serial number. There are websites that also say to do the same and charge for it. Never tries those Hope it helps Ty for the comment

@@MyITWorkshop How would Dell support reset it over the phone There’s no internet connection or such to communicate with the machine What about reinstalling the bios version
@@theonecommenter Hey, Dell will ask you for the device service tag and of course if it is under warranty. They can generate master Bios/admin password based on that. If you have access to windows on that machine you might be able to update the bios running the .exe file. If what is configured is the Admin password and you need to type that password when the computer turns on then Dell support OR other sketchy websites are the solution. TY for the comment!

Hello There, I received a 3080 some weeks ago, interestingly it does not have a CMOS jumper like in the video or other models I've worked with.
