BSD

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.

that IS the CMOS password. if that password happens before or right after the POST, then yes it is a bios setting. when you took the battery out you didnt take it out long enough. wait a full minute before you put it back in. that SHOULD work.
