SOURCE: I have an Dell OptiPlex GX150 and the cmos clock

First you should check that you cmos connection is clean, not just from dust ect, but is it possible that the original battery leaked? This would of caused a short circuit and the damage is what is causing the batteries to leak.
Flashing the CMOS is the next route, this is done by going to the site of the Motherboard Manufacturer, it will also explain how to Flash/Upgrade the CMOS.
If this doesnt solve it it, you need to check that the pins/Jumpers that control the BIOS, again the site for your motherboard will have a print where you can check that the pins are correct(check that the are fitted tightly first!)
Next, try resetting the jumper for the BIOS, usually located closest to the battery. remove it with the power off, power on and off, then enter the BIOS and load default settings. It will Beep while starting up (if allowed) this will not cause a problem, the beeps are only telling you there is a problem, but you already know the jumper settings are wrong.
If these fail, then its most like a short circuit, if this is the case, pack it all in a box and return to Dell.

Testimonial: "Thanks for the help and the rapid response."

SOURCE: Yellow light on the power

A solid orblinking Amber power button indicates a voltage problem. This can be caused bya defective power supply or a defective motherboard. Just to make sure thatnothing else is causing the problem, remove any PCI cards like modem, videocard, sound card, etc... Remove the memory modules and disconnect cables toCD/DVD drives. Look at the USB ports to see if any are damaged.

Reset the CMOS by unplugging your Optiplex from the power cable & removing the CMOS battery.
The CMOS battery is just a larger "watch battery" about the size of a nickel. Remove it for a few seconds, put it back in & power it back up. This will reset the BIOS password & restore all the BISO settings to default however.

My dell optiplex 360 pc is not boot properly, and date and time is not set. Now white I do?

If you start by going into the BIOS settings, set time and date then make sure it detects your hard drive and other periferals. Then try booting again.
If it cannot remember the settings, change the Cmos battery.
Hope that helps.

I lost all password for dell desktop optiplex computer bios password hard drive password cmos password

Lots of sites say to move the PSWD jumper (on the motherboard) from pins 1&2 to pins 3&4, or something like that. However on my Optiplex 360 I found that the PSWD jumper had only 2 pins. By trial and error I found that removing the jumper from these two pins while the system was off allowed me to boot the system with BIOS password disabled. I was then able to change BIOS settings (and install Linux - yeah!!).
