I am forced to enter a power-on authentication password after having set up a second login account and then turn off the laptop totally for the first time. However I did not set an authentication password and therefore don‘t get anywhere with the passwords that I use… also after 3 entries there is no code so I can get a basic password…
I read I could take out some sort of battery… However: is there any other way around this issue? I would love to work on some projects which is kind of impossible like this.
