Enter   e9lov3p3ht

 

3rd letter lowercase L

 

4th letter lowercase O

 

 

 

Use that code to go into the BIOS.

 

Disable all passwords that are enabled.

 

If asked for the CURRENT password use that code.

 

If asked for NEW password just hit enter.

 

If asked to VERIFY password just hit enter.

 

Save and exit.

@REO51ST hi thank you for answering, the code seems to work at first (it accepts and screen goes black) but then it returns to the loading screen with the C logo on it and the f9 and f10 options. It then quickly skips over some instructions with American something in red..it moves so fast I cannot see what it is saying exactly and it then returns to the "enter CURRENT password" screen again. When i redo the same password, it does not work. Only accepts that password if I shut the laptop off completely and start again.

Power-on and start tapping F10 to go into the BIOS and remove the password as directed above.
