Is it possible you are entering the password incorrectly?
e.g. is the caps lock on, when it should be off.
Also is the Num Lock involved.
If the password is case sensitive, these keys could have an effect.
Good Luck - Keep us posted.

This is how BIOS password works. Three wrong password will cause the computer to halt. If you don't remember the true password you set, remove & reinstall CMOS battery usually clear passwords. Heed this WARNING: Everything you configured in BIOS will be irreversibly lost.)
