    Can't access Bios menu in Windows 8.1
    « on: April 12, 2017, 04:50:22 PM »
    I set a Bios password for my computer a while back and now want to remove the password. I went through the Advanced options menu and selected UEFI Firmware Settings. Once it reboots I enter my bios password but it just takes me straight to my user login screen. I know I can remove that battery on my Motherboard or jumpers, but don't see why I can't just enter the menu and change it when I know the password.

    Possibly you have Fast Boot enabled in the Windows Power Options?

      disabled fast boot, but the same issue happens. I restart choosing UEFI firmware settings and end up at my login screen

      Makes no sense at all...BIOS password isn't in UEFI settings so your apparently doing something wrong...

      "Login screen?" do you mean your Windows user login screen? Or the UEFI password prompt? Like this?
