I was messing around trying to fix my dual booted windows 7 and now I can't access bios anymore. My pc is Asus with intel h110 chipset. I press F2 when restarting my pc and the bios password screen pops up I enter the password then continue pressing F2 but it just boots my windows 10 up.
After you enter the bios password you should have gone to the bios. Hitting F2 after does nothing.
If you entered the wrong password then you will continue to windows.
try going to settings/update and security/recovery/advance start up/ restart now which will bring up another menu
choose troubleshoot Advanced Options > UEFI Firmware Settings( the option to boot to bios). it may work.
Take some time and browse the tutorial section of this board its worth the time.
When I put in the wrong password it just says invalid. I can take a video of everything that happens. I've already tried going through settings and doing what you said and nothing changes. I've spent hours researching fixes for my pc, I'm hoping someone really knowledgable here can help me now.

Take it slowly. repeat the process above....wait for the password box to appear, type in your password for the bios,
and just hit enter once.
wait to see what happens next ,if the screen that says hit F2 or del (delete key) ,just hit the delete key once and wait .
From the video you seemed a bit impatient, just take it slow one thing at a time. it may take a few seconds for the computer to respond.
I am very impatient after spending hours searching the internet for fixes, and restarting my pc 50 times. I see many people on numerous forums who posted about not being able to access bios and I tried all their answers and solutions to their posts but they don't work for me, my case is unique and is frustrating me.
I appreciate your responses and help but I tried that and it had the same outcome.
The only thing I can think of that caused this was setting a user password when I was in bios because I read somewhere that you need to set bios passwords to be able to disable secure boot. I also kept going into bios to change the boot order in attempts to fix my windows 7 error. I might of unplugged my usb or ejected my windows 7 disk during boots when I shouldn't have too. When I first started my pc after reseting my cmos battery it only shows 2 drives that the computer recognizes which is the usb and disk drive. Nowhere does it say windows boot manager anymore.
I'm sorry it didn't help. I believe your best bet is to search the internet for a way to clear your bios passwords.
That is a bit beyond my skill level.
To force access to BIOS setup, remove/disconnect all drives. Then, boot in BIOS and disable fast boot or Secure Boot or turn CSM Mode on. In the boot sequence, see if Win 10 is first or if something is wrong.
Reconnect drive(s) and you'll be set to go. Is Windows 7 still there or are you booting in the dual boot blue screen (volume 4 and 5)?
Will that bypass the passwords set up?
I never needed to use a password in my bios, so I don't know?
That's another question, op want's to boot into BIOS. For Asus, see this:

Even the cd drive or just my hdds?
When I boot up currently the first thing that pops up is to enter my bios password, then its the asus screen saying press del or f2 to access bios, then right now I'm going straight to my windows 10 for some reason.
I say this because for the longest time I've been going to the black screen that asks me to choose between windows 7 and windows 10.
After reinstalling windows 7 I no longer get the first part of this message only the reboot part
This is the screen I've seen for the longest time but windows 7 was included after reinstalling it. For whatever reason there is 2 windows 10s and only 1 will work booting up into it.
