Power on password not work after bios update, I'm desperate
11-18-2019 04:40 PM
Hi all, when I installed windows, I put a password in Italian layout that contains a "+" and just as a special character.
After updating the bios on reboot, the password is no longer good, I looked for it in the British and American layout but the key bindings to do the most do not work.
I remember that when I registered the PC, I asked 3 security questions. Is there no way to answer those questions without putting the password? I am desperate. Thanks

Sorry I explained myself wrongly. THE PASSWORD IN QUESTION IS THE "Power-on" PASSWORD Can be set from the bios!
