Cannot enter the bios

[Swix]

I have tried many combos to try to get into my bios. I have a compaq and it says to press F10 to acess the setup , so i press it, but it just procceeds to the log in window. Sometimes I spam F10 and get something about intilizing, but then again it proceeds to the log in window. What am I doing wrong here, will someone please help! Thanks

[Swix]

I tried both, no results, just proceeds to the log on. Someone please help!

It helps a little bit, haven't tried it yet, but it helps to know I have to tap it, not hold it down thanks!

 

[Swix]

Thanks Howard but it didn't not work, I tried a couple times, can anyone else give me some advice to get into my bios?

Just in case, can you try another keyboard?

 

[Swix]

Thanks for the idea, but I tried 2 other keyboards both resulting in the same thing as before. No bios

 

[howard_hopkinso]

Is your keyboard connected via the ps/2 port or usb?

Regards Howard

 

[Swix]

It is connected through the USB

 

[howard_hopkinso]

If the keyboard came with an adaptor, plug it in to the ps/2 port instead.

Otherwise try borrowing or buying an ordinary keyboard, and see how it goes.

Regards Howard

pluged it into the ps/2 port instead but same old story

 

[howard_hopkinso]

I`m sorry Swix, but I really can`t think what else it could be.

Regards Howard
