    I was trying to set up a game, which requires to disconnect cd-roms[ ;)], so I disabled the dvd combo and also removed it from the boot list.
    Then something really annoying happened - my system/bios password does not work anymore. Notebook won't go beyond the enter pass screen anymore. I've tried entering all password combinations (caps, num on/off,..), all known AMI passwords, but the damn thing won't let me in. Is there any other ASUS backdoor password?

    What can i do? Thanks for help.
