Baxter not booting up due to bad date #183

Description

Upon booting-up the robot we get an Invalid configuration information error, similar to the one described here.

It does seem like a possible CMOS battery problem. However, even after potentially changing the battery, which appears to be a challenge on its own, since the robot PC is quite hard to open, one has to reset the date from the BIOS. For the latter an admin account is required, not the usual ruser, for which we don't have the details.

Has anybody else had a similar issue? Thanks!

Remove the jumper from the motherboard (of the computer in the robot) which says PSWD and boot the computer without the jumper. That will erase the administrative password. Then shutdown the computer, put the jumper back and go into the bios and change the date and time.
