There is no internal backup battery...no need for one...they all use nonvolitile flash memory...but doesn't the notebook by cnmlifestyles require a hardware wire bridge to flash the device...seems there is a unique procedure that will reflash the netbook if I remember correctly, maybe this will reset it to factory new without requiring the password.

Go here: http://www.cnmlifestyle.com/
Click on the support section, click on end-of-life section, click on the netbook section
There is a restore and firmware update guide there. You have to use the USB to USB bridge Rich talked about.


On another note:
Maybe your password is still the defauld password..."anyka"???
