Bios is disabled

How can I do a reset in the bios to enable it. The admin password is lost

Do a Clear CMOS by removing the coin battery for 2 seconds or using a nearby jumper labeled as such

If it's a laptop, you would have to contact your manufacturer to clear the CMOS password if I'm correct. Otherwise the password would be pointless wouldn't it ?

Although I could be wrong. Not 100% sure.

I've cleared the CMOS a few times on some different branded laptops by removing the CMOS battery. It's a PITA but you basically have to take it apart to get to the battery. Some are easy while others are more in-depth in tare down.

Youtube is a great source on how to disassemble a particular brand of laptop.

That's the way I've had to do it a few times. I can use a software to remove the Windows password/s but the worst I've seen is when a computer is tied to a company's network [password required] but that network is no longer available, delete partition/s and reinstall the only solution. Frequently the CMOS battery on Notebooks is encased in non-conductive material making it harder to spot.
