This sounds more like a bios problem in your computer. It may require you to kill the password protection by resetting defaults. Ususally you can pull the battery to force it back to factory fresh , but if you are not familiar with the procedure or are uncomfortable with working inside the box, let a professional do it.
There may have been two passwords, one for setup, and one for user. The manual may be some help with this. Ed Fair

Any advice I give is my best judgement based on my interpretation of the facts you supply.

Help increase my knowledge by providing some feedback, good or bad, on any advice I have given.
