While it is frustrating dealing with passwords applied accidentally, especially passwords locking us out of things we really need to get into, the danger from a valid, known, and trusted password that is providing some key security function being easily bypassed is well worth the frustration. It is just not often you see these two sides at the same time. When you're locked out, it's bad. But when the bad guys are locked out, it's good. | |

| Jul 18, 2019 at 19:08 | comment | added | jeancroissand | 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. | |
| Jul 18, 2019 at 19:06 | comment | added | mael' | 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 | |
| Jul 18, 2019 at 19:04 | comment | added | jeancroissand | 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. | |
