Hey there,
got the problem that i can't access the BIOS settings.

 

Pressing F10 at powering on the machine asks for either the password for POST-screen or BIOS-admin.

If I select BIOS-admin and enter the pw I get to the BIOS-Settings, but almost everything is greyed out.
If I select POST-screen-pw and type it in it then asks for the admin-pw, after typing that in it's the same as the above.

What went wrong and how do I get into BIOS? Is the password wrong? Do I need to take another step?

The Issue was being stupid. "Sure Start BIOS Protection Setting" was activated.
