Powering on with a password ( set in the 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. I don't know what to do as the power button no longer works either, so I can't even enter the BIOS. I'm completely stranded, any ideas!? |

Jumped the CMOS and then disconnected absolutely everything and put it all back together. So no chance it's anything to do with hardware I don't think. Has anyone heard of this problem before, maybe there's some special way I need to type in the password! Thanks anyway mate |
