1Unfortunately for you the only option is (payed) tech support from the manufacturer.– user931000Commented Jul 18, 2019 at 18:59

Thank you for your response even though it is sad haha, do you imply that there is no other way like invading EEPROM or anything like that left for me to do(at least that you know of)? Or was it meant to be more like "the easiest method" to follow I know it might be write-protected but there are so many BIOS enthusiasts out there that I had some hope left for the bush goarounds.– jeancroissandCommented Jul 18, 2019 at 19:04

what do you need to change in BIOS that would require the password? hopefully you have also tried a variety of default passwords, and just leaving the password field blank and pressing enter– mael'Commented Jul 18, 2019 at 19:06

I am, in fact, 75% sure it was me who for some uknown reason set that password months ago and as it is not my main laptop I didn't experience any problems but now I want a machine that will be able to withstand AOSP compilation for my nexus 5x and it is definitely not my Lenovo Thinkpad 230x with 120G SSD. Boot menu is disabled in BIOS, that is the main obstacle for now at least so I can't install Ubuntu with my windows to peform the operation.– jeancroissandCommented Jul 18, 2019 at 19:08

Though I am aware of "Windows Subsystem for Linux (Beta)" way but it is not supported by my version of Windows and one of the possible solutions would be acquiring one that does but that will still leave me with locked bios for possible future needs if that works at all.– jeancroissandCommented Jul 18, 2019 at 19:13

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. windows-7), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
