   I thought you could clear the password by opening the case and pulling out
   the battery for a few minutes.  (at least that's what I've heard a number
   of times)

That is true.  Open the case and pull out the battery.  Then wait for about
twenty (20) minutes and the password is gone.

That's why I keep the case locked.
