Hello.

 

You may have a DriveLock set up. Enter BIOS settings, go to Security and remove the Drivelock Password. (When prompted for new password, just press enter to set no password)

 

DriveLock settings are accessible only when you enter Computer Setup by turning on (not restarting) the computer.

The whole point is i know the passwords but find it a pain having to keep entering them,i want to set it up so it doesent ask ok.

That's why you have to change the password to nothing . Leave the new password entry box blank and just push enter and the password requirement will be gone.
