Checksum error means that your hard drive is corrupt, or important files were removed. Usually you can clear a BIOS by moving a special pin on the motherboard, powering on the PC, then powering off and moving the pin back. That should clear the password and restore the BIOS to factory default settings.

get ur motherboard manual.
see which 2 pins r for the cmos reset (it is generally pin 1 and 2)
short up those 2 pins for a seconds while ur pc is off.
ur bios will be reseted in seconds.
now it won't prompt u for a password.

this is what happens when non-professionals screw with stuff they haven't a clue about. u best leave it alone.
