    Are you sure that you have check and set a password from the BIOS utility? Press F2 = Setup when starting the computer to enter the BIOS and navigate to the Password tab and you should be able to set a PW from there.

    The M14xR1 have both User and Supervisor password setup, I am having the same issue, only the Supervisor work. I upgrade my BIOS to ver A8. I am still researching this issue.
