Most models nowadays have their battery hardwired, and is not removable.
There will either be a jumper or switch on the main board that needs to be
shortened.
As Richard says, to find the correct jumper, you will need the manual/tech
ref.

                                  If you forget your power-on      
                                  password, there are two ways to  
                                  "clear" or delete it:            
                                  1.  On certain models, change a  
                                  switch setting and reboot the    
                                  computer.  (Call Tech support or 
                                  refrence manual)                 
                                  2.  On most models, disassemble  
                                  the system and remove the        
                                  date/clock battery for at least  
                                  20 minutes. This will totally    
                                  clear all Setup options and will 
                                  revert to default values.
