Usually jumping the CMOS would reset your bios password. But if you are trying to get into factory bios settings, unfortunately we do not have the password.

If you are having trouble booting the system, have you tried restarting your computer and pressing F9. The only problem is all your important information will be erased from the notebook.

Sounds like maybe your boot files are missing or the boot priority has changed. Is it just rebooting over and over again?

Did you do anything before hand to cause this problem?
