how to reset precision 7920 bios

I already reseated the CMOS battery and the Bios date and time already be the factory time. I can access the BIOS right now but all other settings still be locked. And it need the password to unlock.  How can I do to clear all settings typically the password? Please shed a little light on me, appreciate it.

Use the blue jumper to clear password.  Instructions are imprinted on system board.

@Chino de Oro​ thanks for your response, I did but it did not work. It seems have additional backup. When I did the clear jumper or reseat the battery. the symptom is same. The first startup after doing clear jumper, the bios date back to 2008, but it will turn to 2024 after it. It's so weird. I did not connect internet.

Can only provide official process to clear BIOS password as requested in this thread.

Not much info was disclosed nor any screenshot of issue was provided.  Clearing forgotten passwords should have achieved by using CMOS jumper.
