I have an Intel Pentium 4 2.8C Socket 478 cpu and an Intel D865GLC motherboard.
I needed to update the BIOS and so downloaded the latest BIOS for this motherboard from the Intel site here. After running the setup utility in windows, it restarted my computer and did 8 beeps, updating the BIOS i presume, and then restarted the computer again. Upon restarting it keeps asking me to "Enter CURRENT password"...
Before the update, i didnt have a BIOS password, and i've tried entering blank passwords and obvious ones but to no avail.
I've tried taking out the CMOS battery for 20mins, and that reset the clock but it still wanted a password when i turned it back on...><
I've tried to look for the reset jumpers on my motherboard, but it appears there are none.
Some help would be greatly appreciated, as at the moment my computer is pretty much useless since i cant get to windows><
