Dell Precision 210...Can't get the plastic case OFF

Mabe I'm just getting old but I can not figure this out. I can pull
the memory just by reaching inside but also I want to pull the 550mhz
CPU. there is a lot of space to reach inside after I removed the metal
IDE hard drive box. can I pull out the CPU just by reaching inside?
Thanks for any help.

ok great info thanks Stew!
BTW, is there anyway I can bypass the Administrator-password
login?
hitting 'Escape' did not work.

Check the documentation under 'jumper' settings. It can probably be cleared
by temporarily moving one or more jumpers.

Stew, don't think that will that remove the Windows password?

I thought he meant the admin/supervisor BIOS password.

Of course, if he meant Windows, then you and Jay are right........he's just
better off wiping it.

I'm not sure now what he meant!

yes I meant the windows password for Windows Server 2003 Enterprise
Ed.

This is the first server I've worked with and since I got it for $5 at
Goodwill I'd like to get it up and running just to use it as a basic
PC. I think there is a problem with the Seagate Cheetah ST39103LW
SCSI 68 Pin. I tryed to wipe it but FDISK can't find it as drive 0,
1, C, etc. The 12 pin socket (in between the 68 pin and large 4 pin)
was not connected to anything. I will buy a new HD but do I need a
Ultra-Wide SCSI and do I have to get the faster 10k rpm and will this
all work with plain old Win98?
