David,

I'm not aware of a "backdoor" password for Award BIOS.  That's not to say
there isn't one.  However, I feel it is more likely your students have
downloaded a BIOS password cracker from the net.  They're readily available,
just do a search.  If that is the case, you may never be able to keep them
out of the BIOS unless you can find and delete the password cracker.  Of
course they'll just download it again.

No easy solution to this - What about it list members??

Good Luck,
Dave
