Just a guess, every BIOS is different. Go to it (F2) and find the menue dealing with system protection: boot, BIOS update, administrator, etc passwords. Clear them ALL for now. Go over all other menus and check any other settings that possibly could have anything to do with securing BIOS setting (configuration), whether local or remote. Clear them ALL for now. SAVE and EXIT to reboot. One more thing to check. In BIOS, write down the date of your BIOS. Go to your seller's first (or board manufacturer's next) web site and check for any BIOS update available. Compare the dates, and if they differ read the changes log. Be prepared to download and update your BIOS if needed. You can boot thru F10 to cd/dvd drive, so it should be not a problem. Be careful not to interrupt such an update, also stable AC/DC and battery.
