I am a first year computer science student and I need to access the BIOS of this second hand ultrabook I recently bought to enable virtualisation or 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 or someone I can contact as I am desperately in need of accessing the BIOS for my uni-work!

 

Thanks for any help in advance.
