Default Reset password in BIOS?

I have a bunch of computers I just got from a guy who did hardware conversions at a hospital. The problem for me is that the BIOS has a password on it and there is no jumper to clear the CMOS on the motherboard. Also tried pulling the battery on the board and that didnt work either. Is there another way to reset the password or clear the CMOS? I would appreciate any help.
Thanks

Remove the battery and unplug from mains, leave for a few mins. If need be short the pins on the battery holder.
