    I know that discussing "bypassing" security isn't discussed here, but that isn't my question. Is there some feature on this model or Sony's in general that would all of a sudden add a BIOS password? I've pulled the SATA drive for use in a PS3, and put the bluray that was in it into a Gateway p7805u. I've tried all the passwords I would have used and it keeps going to a "One Time Password". So is it a "feature" for when hardware is removed? Also, not to "bypass" it, but to restore it to the way it was, will returning the drives reset it?
