I've tried booting it to backup UEFI as well as the jumper password reset, as well as all known passwords and combinations of passwords. It's an IBM x240 compute node. I'm trying to clear the administrator password on the BIOS, and I know this is a hail mary at best, but I tried pulling the CMOS battery. (Frankly, I'm not even confident that BIOS/UEFI even works like that anymore, but I'm running out of ideas short of calling IBM and that's never fun.) Any suggestions?<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><div>
