Default BIOS help please!

Girlfriend needs to re-boot windows (98SE) . BIOS is defaulting to CD rom and her boot disk is on floppy so need to change default in BIOS, but it is asking for a password which has baffled her as she has never set one. Can anyone help with this situation please?

Thanks,

CC

Maybe the supplying retailer set a password? You could phone them & check. Otherwise you can wipe the bios by removing the on-board battery for about 10 mins.
