Help!!!

My bios is asking for a password and i did ot set a password...nobody else did either. I am reloading 2 of my HDD's and when I go into change the boot options it asks for a password. I took the battery out of the mobo for about 10 mins. and it did not take it away and it should have. The interseting part is I loaded one of the HDD's with win2k and tried to connect to the net, I have cable and did not connect but would that have been long enough for a virus to slip through and corrupt my bios. I have the Gigabyte Dual Bios Raid board. I also tried to copy from the backup bios to the main and boot and it still asked for a password!! HELP!!!

sometimes it takes longer then 15 minutes for the bios to clear. I had talked to a tech from the company I bought my mobo from. He told me that it could take up to three days for the bios to clear when you remove the battery. I do have trouble believing that, but I can believe that it might take longer then 15 minutes. I would suggest removing the battery either overnight or for at least an hour. Unles you can find a better suggestion.
