Can't access Bios

[chuglife]

Hey im having trouble getting access to my bios. I restart, immediately press del (also tried f2) and it gets my to my password screen but it already has "*" in the password field and won't let me type. I set a password for bios but it doesn't allow me to type it in .

Using an asrock extreme3 gen3 mobo.

oh and a second question, on start up should it be asking me how i want to boot every single time i restart? options are like usb, disk drive, boot manager.

What is you doing before get that issue, try unplug power ac from PSU, remove battery in motherboard, let 15minutes, and put it back. Try turn on your pc
