I have changed the dipswitch to bypass because the computer all the sudden put a lock on and now the computer will fire and I can get into the BIOS but when I try to save the settings it goes bak to the manufracture setting what can I do?

Are you trying to set a user or supervisor password in the BIOS? If so, do you then save the changes when exiting the BIOS? Your question isn't very clear.

Hi, The Motherboard DipSwitch only affects the PassWord set into the BIOS SETUP. It does nothing for any other Password. Bios Setup pass word can also be reset by resetting the Bios Setup. Also the DipSwitch may only be to prevent anyone getting into the Bios Setup.
Good Luck, Jim

Must no longer be an issue since she didn't post back. :)
