[SOLVED] Update BIOS Problem

Hello,

Attempted to update my BIOS to P21 on my Intel D865 PERL. The system logged off Windows and started to boot up. I got the blue Intel screen, heard two beeps and the screen now says enter current password.

I do have a wireless keyboard/mouse and didn't see any lights come on otherwise the screen is not giving me a cursor or any method to enter anything.

Thoughts? Ralph

Re: Update BIOS Problem

Got it. Had to move the jumpers from Normal to Config then delete all passwords in setup. Moved the jumpers back and rebooted to happiness. Now we'll let the new bios p21 settle in and Monday upgrade my processor to p4 3.2
