Enabling bootup password on an 8K7A+ mboard?

[Courtland]

Well I feel really stupid asking this question considering my level of expertise, however I can't seem to get a bios pw to come up on bootup/system power on. I have tried enabling both the admin and user pw, and the only thing either or both of them does is lock the bios, and I need to block power on/bootup. Any help would be appreciated, im sure this is pretty simple, but I don't have time to play around with it, going to college in a day, need a secure system because of a roommate.

hmm, i think it is in Advanced Chipset Features on my MSI, look for something similar, or just look for something called "Set Boot-Up Password" the BIOS isnt 'that' big

EDIT: I guess this is where I should of told myself to RTM, lol. Looks like you did have to enable it to run at startup, it was in one of those annoying submenus, not used to using that with a pw. Thanks.
