Product: cd040wm
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I dont remember adding a bios password. But none the less it says i have one and after many attempts i cannot figure out the password. It gives me a code after 3 failed attempts. Ive tried all the code generators and what not to reset it without any luck. i had to install a fresh copy of windows 10 off a usb. It actually told me that the bios was reset but it never gave me the option to change the password. I did take the entire laptop apart and left it apart for a week. I couldnt find the bios battery but when i put it back together it also told me the bios was reset. Thanks in advance for any help someone can offer.
