    HELP!!! :confused2:

    I updated the BIOS to my 7811, and now I can't boot because it keeps telling me that my HDD password is incorrect!!! I haven't changed it, so why would it be incorrect??? Those foreign "instructions" were impossible to understand, so if I was supposed to change or remove the HDD password prior to the BIOS update, I didn't know!

    What am I supposed to do now??? I've tried a ton of different passwords, and none work!!! :eek2:

    You need to contact GW about this, as we cannot really help you get around this for security reasons.
