Power on failure after setting power-on-password ( in BIOS )

I stupidly set my in my BIOS for the system to turn on using a password (4 letters - love) I'm using a ps2 keyboard connection, but any speed I type the password in won't turn on the system.

Did you try clearing the cmos? -- Yes already tried everything hardware-wise. Must be some special way of turning it on!
