After I updated the bios the password protection hasn't been working. I can
no longer password protect the bios menu and the pc. Is there a fix to this?

Thanks!

BIOS password protection has always worked as expected here - and I have
updated numerous P2B series boards to 1014b3.

After flashing the new BIOS, you loaded defaults, then reassigned both
passwords - yet it still boots and allows BIOS access without requiring
a password?

Yes to all your questions. Even if I assign passwords, save settings
and exit, I don't get any password prompt box the next time I boot up
or enter the bios menu.
Other than this, the bios update works ok.

Beats me, I can't reproduce that behavior. Perhaps clearing CMOS would
fix it.

Yes you have to open the case to clear CMOS. If you have the motherboard
manual, there should be a jumper you can change to clear it. If you can find
the type and model of the motherboard you probably can find the manual
online.

A neat trick I've used a couple times.
Unplug power cord from case. Open the case. Take out the ram. Plug power
back in. Reboot and get error beeps from having no ram. Unplug power, put
ram in, plug in the power and reboot. The CMOS is set back to default and I
didn't have to hunt for the manual or do any research.
