Does this message come up straight away or does it come up after POST (say's stuff like press del to enter setup etc...)?

Well, this is serenditious. Just today, I was reading a blog (http://linuxlock.blogspot.com/2009/05/acer-tells-kids-charity-pay-up-or-shut.html) where one of the commenters provided this link (http://www.pwcrack.com/bios.shtml) to a list of BIOS admin/backdoor passwords. Hope this helps.
