Hey all -
I recently wrote up a blog post after buying another Supermicro X9DRi-LN4F+ only to find out that the eBay seller had not checked for a BIOS password. After experimenting with all of the suggestions on STH and other blogs I was unable to get it to clear. I tried CMOS battery removal, JBT1 shorting, etc. and no luck. I was finally able to get it to clear by doing a BIOS upgrade through IPMI UI and choosing not to preserve any elements of the upgrade, etc. It's better written up on my blog if you would care to read more!
