i really really need to know how to remove the cmos battery. a friend of mine just got a laptop that has a cmos boot password on it and removing the battery is the only way other than calling hp (they are closed now until monday) that i can get into the laptop. thanks.

HP Pavillion ZV5000 CMOS battery location revealed

The cmos battery is weird on this model ( HP Pavillioan ZV5000) You have to lift the keyboard of the computer and close to the wireless card ( to the left and up ) there is a small round battery with a white plastic ring holding it. Unfortunately, the battery is soldered to the board and must be removed and resoldered to reset the cmos.
In the end I used a utility call UBCD4WIN to reset it. You have to make your own CD to use this program.
I am going to learn how to solder next.
