You have to set a general BIOS password which is a password you must enter to change ANY BIOS settings. The settings cannot be password protected on an item by item basis. Look for a security section of the BIOS which should let you set a BIOS password. Don't lose the password.

Sorry Im writing from my mobile and it kind of has its own life..

 

What I wanted to say is, Yes I have enabled the BIOS password and entering it or editiing it will require BIOS password. However, this F9 option is outside BIOS and it does not require password, how do I change that???

Solved by disabling all other boot options in the bios so now when pressing F9 there is only Notebooks hard drive option 🙂
