Hi:

Restart the PC and enter this unlock passcode...

Thanks for the quick reply, worked perfectly!

You're very welcome.

If you have to keep entering that code to get past the halt code, use the unlock code to get into the BIOS.

Select the security menu.

Select enable/disable password.  You will most likely need to enter the unlock code to enable that action.

For the new password, hit the enter key.  For the confirm password, hit the enter key.

Save the setting there and again when you exit the BIOS.

Then you should not have to enter any password unless you have a Windows logon password.

You can set a new BIOS password by going to the security menu in the BIOS again.
