Always better if you can provide Computer model & Windows Operating System type information & anything else you think is relevant, e.g. any recent changes made, error messages etc.. ?
Does anyone else have access to your computer?
To clear boot set up password (if unknown) you will need to use the 3-pin password jumper on the system board
E.g. if your computer is a Dimension 8400 then click here & follow instructions
Since you didn’t activate System Set Up security log on feature but using the 3-pin password jumper on the system board initially clears boot password problem & computer successfully boots to Windows but with major problems
Then the Master Boot Records &/or HDD Disk Boot Sectors may be infected/corrupt?
If that happens then problem could be a serious Virus/Trojan infection?
