Not letting me type BIOS password?

When I turn on my computer (Same thing happens whether or not I press F2), it asks for a BIOS password.

I set it, and I know it.

I'm using a Dell Optiplex 755.

However, when I try to type it in nothing shows up and a beep noise occurs. If I press enter, it locks down.

Please help!
