Jusat opened my VCS which I got yesterday.  It has a 2021 OS image on it and the first thing I did was go into the BIOS.  The celebrate password worked out of the box for me.

I hope you changed the Password. If not it will stop working after the BIOS update.

Refresh the BIOS per instructions from Atari.

Yes I know this response is a little late, but for all those who may still come here and have the latest Atari OS as of this date, the password as stated earlier in this thread is Atar!C3l3br8te$50Ye4r$ . You will need to delete this password and leave the field blank to make any future changes unless you just like entering the password. This will work fine until the next update, when likely Atari will institute a new BIOS password.

I know this has been asked a thousand times...but what key do you press to get to the bios?  I have my original backer VCS which upgraded itself to the most recent OS and I've held down the ESC key and the Delete key separately to no avail.  I think I tried Alt-delete too.  Search brought up many, many threads but everyone just skips over that part since it's common knowledge except for me.  :)

You have to press the ESC key with a wired keyboard.

I press ESC key with my wireless keyboard all the time (of course a wireless keyboard still has a USB dongle so there is no difference whether it has a wire or not). Only trouble I've had is not pressing it at the right time, so I repeatedly press it and one of those is at the right time.

Yeah As long as it's a wireless USB, it will work,    A bluetooth keyboard would not.   That might be the confusion in the thread.
