Deleting the BIOS password you’re familiar with

I’m trying to adjust the BIOS settings on a server with an MSI GF615M-P33 board. The manual lists the default password as BCNDK1. I’ve changed it to an empty field and saved, but when I try to exit, the system asks for the password again. Restoring it to defaults doesn’t help either. Do you know anyone who has faced this problem before?

It had some odd behaviors. Looks like it uses a standard BIOS password when the field is blank. It's not a server board, just a typical AM3 board from 2009.

I fully understand that situation. It's surprising to see this board selected for the server.

Even the am3 wasn't that impressive back then. Those chips were nowhere near as strong as the older xeons or even comparable to early core i models. It looks like the system defaults to a generic password if there are no users in the field.

Extreme cost reductions... same server also employs a SATA controller on its Supermicro SAS backplane. Thanks for the assistance. I think I’ll retain the password.

This appears to be a former Barracuda Networks server setup.

That's great! It really makes sense if you plan to upgrade it with newer, more efficient parts.
