I went into boot in the setup utility and disabled secure boot will that stop the bios password from poping up again

no, secure boot just locks Linux/BSD out of a laptop. in essence what it is securing is money for M$, because its very easy to pull a privilege escalation attack on WIN8(.1) through it.
