Barracuda Spam Firewall 400

[shovenose]

I got this thing to use as a server....
-Dual Core CPU
-2GB DDR2 RAM
-MSI K9MM-V / MS-7312 Motherboard
-Dual 250GB HDD
-220W PS
-1U Rackmount

The problem is that it run's Barracuda's OS.
I want to put Windows Server 2003 Enterprise on it.
But there is a BIOS password (I need to change boot order so I can boot from my USB CD drive)...
I have tried clearing bios with the jumper, removing the battery for 20mins, etc, but it still wants the stupid password.
Any ideas?

Hiron boot cd use one of the bios crackers

Actually, i solved the problem. I happened to have the exact same identical motherboard lying around, so i just swapoed it. Then windows server 2003 installed fine...

why didn't you just swopped the bios chips wouldn't have been faster lol [hr]

The only differences in the two was one had a soldered on bios and one had a different color ide and one had sounds posts and one didnt. So that was not an option ( i considered it thouh)...

I don't know if it's exactly the same thing or not, but my high school had the Barracuda filter enabled. I hated the thing because it actually worked well, but they decided to block everything under the sun, even if it was a good thing to reference for school.

At my school me have "Lightspeed Systems" internet blocker. I hate that thing with a passion...every time I find a way past it, they catch it and kill my way within a week...

Well that's their job. If you want to have a way past it, you'll have to find a more obscure hole again and again.

Of course a more permanent "solution" would be to have an administrator user/pass, but let's not get beyond simple mischievousness here.

WE HAD TYPE writers. They were electronic at least.
