CMOS Setup Password?

[silky]

I am trying to help out my Fedex lady with her PC, but someone has put a password in the CMOS setup. If I remove the battery for an hour or so will it clear the password? Thanks for your help.

Not necessarily (you may have to unplug the power cable too), but there should be a clear cmos jumper near the battery. Set it to clear cmos and then reset it and the password should be gone.
