T2042 Emachine Bios Password help

[coffee33]

I aquired one of these today for free but the old guy didn't remember the password. I wanted to know how I could go about resetting the password cause I can't get into the BIO's as is, not even after taking the battery out.
Jumper?
Ty in advance.

sometimes taking the battery out, disconnecting the power cable and holding the power switch down for 10 seconds helps.
