I recently added an admin password in my BIOS setup, I then set it to secure my PC demanding that password at power up. The password setup is; 2 numerals, one capital letter followed by 5 small letters and one capital again, 2 numerals. Example: 12AbcdefG34.
It seems there has been some sort of misunderstanding between me and my BIOS though.
I tried entering the password, and got "invalid password" like 20 times, I then noticed that while holding the SHIFT key it didn't seem to record any symbol.
Fiddling around some, trying various close alternatives, I managed to get into setup after a few minutes.
I guess that the letters I used with the SHIFT key obviously has some other exotic meaning to my BIOS than I intended, because whilst trying to reset the password in the BIOS setup, it STILL won't accept my password.
So my question is: Is there a way for me to find out if my BIOS is reading my keyboard input in another way than I want it to? Like for instance; it thinks my European keyboard is American?
Thank you
