Here is my problem:

 

I set the supervisor password for the BIOS and still do remember it but everytime I try entering BIOS.... well....

I press Del during boot and BIOS request for the password.. I enter the correct password but I cant get into BIOS config... It just continues booting ?? What can I do ??

You could try to pop the battery out of the motherboard. Let it sit for about 30-45 seconds before placing it back in the motherboard. This should reset the BIOS/CMOS. I belive that might reset the password default to not prompt.

Or..... Intel products - Clearing BIOS Passwords.

Well, I could have reset it earlier, but I wanted to know why I couldn't get in. I have done so now, but if someone has an answer please enlighten me.

 

Thanks,
