It seems to have changed my harddisk security password so I cannot get past that I have tried the unfreeze method and still nothing my password is incorrect is all I get.
My black screen comes up with messages as follows PXE-E16:MEDIA TEST FAILURE, CHECK CABLE
PXE-MOF: EXITING BROADCOM PXE ROM.
I have no idea what to do now I have tried most of advice in solutions but no change and I think it is because I cannot get past the HDD security

    sherree,

     

    If you can get into the BIOS I suggest you reset the settings to default. This can be done by pressing F9 while in the BIOS, then saving changes and exiting. If there is a BIOS password that was created for the system, and you do not know the BIOS password, then a repair with fee could resolve this issue.

    It is not that I have forgotten password as I have all my passwords written down somehow since the bios update it has changed
