I have a Dell Latitude D610, everytime I turn on the PC it promtps me for the white screen bios password, I have the password which works fine but surely I should not see this every time... how do I stop the screen from appearing? I assume its just a setting somewhere?? - note I do not need password help, this is legit pc and I have all passwords...

No, if a password has been placed on the BIOS, it will ask every time you boot the PC. It's a security setting.

The only way to get rid of the screen/question is to erase the BIOS password. Of course, then you have no protection against unauthorized use of the PC.

Hi, so if I enter 'setup' change my bios password to nothing it will then stop the screen from appearing?

thanks for the info...

You need to enter setup, then change the password to nothing at all, hit f10 save and exit it will reboot your system without the need to put the password in at startup.

But this is a [b]Power On Password[/b] that works before any of the existing OS starts to get loaded so short of removing it completely there is nothing that you can do to prevent it from asking for this.
