Hello.
I’m sorry to read this — I know how you’re feeling.

According to this group’s rules, helping with or manipulating the BIOS is not allowed.
Personally, I wouldn’t want there to be a way to bypass the password on my own computer either. In case of theft, that would allow someone to use my laptop and access my data. That’s why a BIOS password should only be enabled if you really know what you’re doing and if you have sensitive data on the device.

Although there is a chance that this happened accidentally, an administrator will likely lock this thread soon.

Could you tell us how this happened?
Try to remember the password you used when you enabled the BIOS password.
