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.

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,
