BIOS Passworded

OrbitzXT · Apr 18, 2008

I used @BIOS to update from F7 Bios to the F8b because I was about to install an E8400 which I just did right now. It booted up fine but I forgot to set the motherboard to default before taking out the old CPU and put in the new one. I had the FSB at 444 and a few other things changed. It booted fine but I still went into Bios and loaded the Default settings. When I went back into the Bios the next time it says Enter Password in a red box. I've never set any kind of password in the bios before. Then I restarted and went in again and it had a typo and said Enper Password, which I thought was strange. Is something wrong here? Everything seems to be fine but I just can't get into my Bios. What can I do?

try "0000" as password?

I did, I tried a few things I thought might be obvious. 0's, Gigabyte, the model number, the word password. Its so strange. It only started this after I loaded the default after flashing the bios to F8b.

You tried a CMOS reset?

Cmos reset worked, on a side note, I see something new that was either added with the new BIOS or has something to do with the new CPU. It says something along the lines of Fine CPU Ratio something or other? It can add 0.5 to the CPU ratio and it said (333x9.5) instead of the 9 like its supposed to be. I have it on in the BIOS but on boot and according to CPU-Z the multi is still 9. What is that about?

Well if your multi is locked at 9 it won't go any higher anyway. But half multis are kind pointless, I would say don't bother.
