I saw a function in my bios setup that said i could turn my pc with pressing a password on my keyboard. I turned the function on!. Now I'm trying everything, but can't turn my pc on.

You mean you can't turn it on from the keyboard or you can't turn it on at all? You should probably check the motherboard manual for more details of that function.

If the KBoard is USB then you need to Enable Legusy USB support in the BIOS.

depending upon what type of motherboard you have, some require a jumper set upon the motherboard to effectively hardwire this option which overrides the standard power switch.

Do you mean a keystroke combination? If so, you would have to select or set the combo. My BIOS allows for this, and I can power on my PC simply by holding down the Ctrl and F1 keys at the same time.
