Hi all

 

I need help enabling VT-x (Virtualization) to be able to use docker. I have confirmed the laptop is VT-x supporting but when i attempt to enable the VTx via BIOS (F10 on restart) it requests that i enter a BIOS admin password. I have never set that up, and as a result dont know what it would be.

 

Would anyone be able to help me:

1. Enable the VTX without accessing BIOS

2. Bypass the password in BIOS be it a default password or completely bypass this request.

 

The help would be much appreciated, as i need to install Docker in order to complete my
