I'm a bit confused when you say it accepts your windows password but it is stuck at CMOS?

Do you have a BIOS (CMOS) password set?

If your entering a windows password your well past the CMOS (BIOS) portion of the boot process.

are you referring to the "textsetup" portion of an NT install?

There shouldn't be any need to enter a password as part of the OS installation.

NT will boot from the CD but Windows 9X needs a boot floppy (the Win9x CD is not bootable).
