Removing bios password - Win95
I have received an IBM puter from a friend who wants to update it from Win95 to Win98, so his missus can use it for e-mail etc. It has 486sx66, blazing 16 mb ram and 5?? hd. The problem I am having is the the machine is password protected - and that has lo0ng been forgotten. Puter starts up, shows Award bios 4.50G, an 80486dx2-s cpu at 66mhz and 16384k of ok ram. It also brings up prompt in middle of screen for Enter Password. Therein lies the problem. From the darker, foggy recessses of my mind, I remembered the part about removing the battery to erase the cmos settings. Did that for an hour - no luck; left it out overnite - still no luck. Can't go anywhere from this screen - just shut it off. I know there has to be some way to either remove the bios password, or circumvent it, but the mind is blank. Have also tried to boot from a floppy, but even thouogh A; is recognized in boot sequence, there is no response from the puter to boot from A: So, how do I get rid of the pasword, or get into the bios to change this? The hd will be formatted to install win98.
Any help would be greatly and fratefully appreciated.

PS. I, for one, am glad there still is a win95 forum available. Still have old puter running dos 6.22, that I like to play with also.
