how's this for a hypothetical:

some person (let's call him 'Marcel') enters his BIOS, (maybe makes
some changes), invokes password protection & reboots.

some time later, he installs a fresh operating system. then he re-enters
his BIOS (unknown reason) & (forgetting he set password protection) is
surprised when all he gets is a request for a password!
