Chosen Solution

Bios “Boot password” is present on system. Looking for the Jumpers on this particular model, Windows 8.1 system. Thanks in advance for any help.

Decided to try once again, I had suspected Jumper labeled B500 was the culprit and in an older iteration of the same type of problem I had remembered that just shorting the two pins was not enough but rather to short from a jumper pad to the -Neg solder joint on the RAM mount… VOILA! Here is a picture of the motherboard and the two pins to jump… You’re welcome!!

hi saiber, what did you use to jump these 2 points?
