I need to access the BIOS of this second hand ultrabook. I recently bought to enable virtualisation to install ubuntu alongside windows. However I cannot access the BIOS as it is passworded by the previous owner which is causing no end of problems for me.
Is there anything I can do to fix this ?
Thanks for any help in advance.
