BIOS password removal

[Jani001]

 

Hi,

I got a relatively old computer a few days ago, that I would like to "upgrade". Some BIOS settings are incorrect and should be fixed. However I can not bypass the setup password. I have tried a lot of  options so far without any success: MS-DOS commands,  CMOS battery removal (and reseat), CMOS jumper, softwares: KillCMOS and CMOSpwd, 35  different backdoor passwords. I realized that the setup password can not be removed with these options, because the previous owner may set the password after resetting the CMOS clock. When I press enter three times I do not get any halt codes or anything else, only the "readonly" BIOS.

I shot a picture of the system information, that you can see above.

I would be grateful, if someone shared her/his experiences or suggestions in connection with this issue. Thank you for your replies in advance.
