MSI smart key

Does anyone know how to get around the MSI smartkey I get a message No MSI smart key is present please plug in your MSI smart key or contact your local distributor for details. Is there anyway around this since I have lost the smart key. Thanks in advance, Sam

What do you need this "MSI smart key" for?
Also if you really need it, contact Microstar International for a new one and hopefully you will be able to work something out.

The mother board does not let you into the system without it. Befor loading HHD and Rom drives it looks to the USB port for this key. It is to prvent people from being able to get into your computer. It seems to work cause now I'm locked out. But thanks for the info don't know why I didn't tyr that already.
