UNIX -openbsd /i386
I think i have messed up with the bios or something. i am seeing this message as soon as the system boots up

////////////////////////////////////////////
Password =

Please Enter The System Logon:
///////////////////////////////////////////

First i though that it was due to changing the setting of boot up/password or bios password, but after unpluging the CMOS Batter/Drum Battery , it still shows the same message and after 3 *wrong guess/tries the system shut off itself.

can't even log in/get in the system.

Any comment.

Thanks.

Ah yes, the fine art of BIOS password cracking.

Try revering the polarity of the battery for two or so seconds. if that fails to work, there are many excellent tutorials on re-wiring you BIOS on your friendly neighborhood p2p network (and a tonne more spam to match). there are also several backdoor passwords and key-combos that many overlook. First arm yourself with detailed information about your chip, then weild that mighty weapon before the great google!
