I have a Fujitsu Siemens notebook (Model: M9400) that has the BIOS currently set to Quick Boot . I want to switch this off to be able to boot from a CD. (And I just want my BIOS access back.

The notebook is password protected to boot (as is the BIOS). When I boot the notebook, I need to hold ESC to be able to press F2 to enter the BIOS. When I do so, the system shows Starting up Set-up.

However, after I type in the password, the system just boots into Windows 7 and not the BIOS. Is there anyone who know how to get into this BIOS?

I do know the passwords so I'm not looking for an option to remove these per se, but neither the user nor the supervisor password will get me into the BIOS.

Fixed it myself. All bootable media and peripheral devices had to be removed from the USB ports/DVD drives for some odd reason. Hope this information helps someone else!

Here: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/a/biosaccess_bios.htm you have a list with all (I think) the Bios Access Keys

Phoenix Technologies - Phoenix BIOS, Phoenix-Award BIOS

Press Del during the Power On Self Test, immediately after the computer starts. Many older Phoenix BIOS systems required Ctrl+Alt+Esc, Ctrl+Alt+Ins, or Ctrl+Alt+S to access BIOS.
