Most laptops nowadays, if by the OEM as Windows 8 or 10, are UEFI laptops. Now you need a correctly made boot USB, that is allowed by the BIOS or (if you have it) UEFI firmware. At this point, the BIOS password should have been removed. Of course, this would require knowledge about the motherboard's model and brand (which still may require disassembly). If you don't want to deal with the hassle of dissasembly, using a backdoor password put in by the Motherboard's Manufacturer is appropiate. You can now replace the battery and plug in the AC Adapter. After, replace the CMOS battery or reset the CMOS jumper to the normal setting (not CLR). With the battery and AC adapter disconnected, remove the CMOS battery or if there is a CMOS jumper (3 prongs with jumper on 2 often nearby the CMOS battery), move that jumper to the CLR or Clear position, hold the power button until the power cycles on and off and or hold it continuiously for 10+ seconds. In most cases, to remove the BIOS password one must disassemble the laptop and locate either the CMOS jumper or the CMOS battery. It is absolutely necessary to reset the BIOS password. ![]()
