Hi,

 

Not clear if you have a BIOS password problem or a Windows password problem. A BIOS update should not adversely affect either. A BIOS update would set the PC back to BIOS defaults which would be no password requirement to enter the BIOS.

 

Anyway, this forum does not provide password assistance. You will have to sort this out.

 

Regards
