    Was the password set for the HDD as well? There's no way to reset the HDD password, and if a password was applied to the HDD, the HDD's password is most likely re-applying the password back to the system BIOS. The only way to remove it is to enter the correct password, other than that, I don't think there's any way to remove it. IBM's are like this, IBM service says you have to replace both HDD and motherboard for the password to be eliminated. Just changing 1 part will have the password re-applied to the new replacement part.

    It's possible the password got corrupt, therefore not accepting when you type the password. You're probably gonna have to send it in for service to get it removed successfully.
