I tried searching for this question but I can't find a solution to this. I was given a laptop to reformat and do a fresh Windows 10 install but the laptop won't boot to BIOS (or UEFI). I tried every possible key (F2,F10,Del,Esc,etc). It always boot directly to Windows 10. I think the bios is someway locked.
When I search information about booting to BIOS on this particular laptop (BGH E920TV) the recommendation is to boot to UEFI from the Windows special restart options. But I can't do that, because I can't log into windows (I don't have the user password).
It becomes clear that I have to remove the drive from the laptop and get the password somehow. I first thought about using the "utilman.exe" trick, but this trick is patched now. It no longer works on latest Windows 10.
So I'm kind of lost here. I could extract the disk and reformat it. But I don't know what will happen with the laptop if I put an empty disk. I'm afraid I could make it unusable (because it boots only to this windows 10 installation and there are not other booting options...).
Can you recommend me what to do? I can connect the drive to other laptop (using a SATA to USB cable). Then I will have full access to the drive (I don't think it's encrypted). From that point, how can I reset a user password? Or enable a new administrator password?
Thanks
