Hi jcurry69,

Thanks for providing us this information.

I would like to inform you that password has been set for the harddrive itself. Have you recently set any password or changed the harddrive of the system.

It might be an issue with the harddrive as well so kindly run the diagnostics on the same:

Please perform these steps and let us know the results of the same so we can advise you further.

Thanks and Regards
