MOBO Wants BIOS Admin Password At Each Boot

The password I set to protect access to the UEFI settings is now being prompted at every computer startup, not just when I hit Del to go into the bios.

 

This is happening after I updated my bios to fix another issue (see last topic). Using a Gigabyte Z390M Gaming motherboard and couldn't find anything relevant in the settings

 

Double check everything, I am usually wrong.

If I don't reply it's probly because I am in a different time zone or haven't seen your message yet but I will reply when I see it ?

In the BIOS go to the "BIOS" tab and click on "Security Option". This is where the password would have been set. And is also where you can disable it everytime the machine boots.

Please mention or quote me if you want a response. :)

It can be a pain depending on how many customizations you make, but anytime I get a slow BIOS, I set it the the defaults (usually an option), then reset my options.
