I bought a fresh new laptop (Elitebook 835 G8). It came with windows 10 pro, which after a couple of days suggested me to update to Windows 11, which I did (I'm not sure if this is the reason to be honest, but this is my only guess). Also I purchased and installed an additional RAM card. I wanted to run the memtest (thus load from a flash drive) and I could not enter the bios because of an admin password, which I didn't set !!
Is it some kind of known behavior and how to fix it ? (reset the password).
