V1.01 Updates: Nov, 2009

1) Fix the bug of Cap-Lock and numbers problem.

For those HP BIOS that still using "KBD" to encode password, when CAP-LOCK on/off, the code of numbers "0" - "9" are different. This may cause some problem. If you use "ABC123" as password, for v1.00, after the password set, when you entering the BIOS, you need to do this to input the password: CAP-LOCK on, input "ABC" then CAP-LOCK off, input "123".

The V1.01 add CAP-LOCK state check for password setting to avoid this issue. If you use CAP-LOCK on to input "ABC123" as password, you can use CAP-LOCK on to input "ABC123" when entering the BIOS.
