You sure its not asking for the OS password ?

Here is the quick fix below..


If you have forgotten your Bios password then you should open your computer case and remove the motherboard battery for five minutes. Find the jumper that resets CMOS (it is usually located near the battery). It has three contacts. Two of them, the first and second, are short - circuited with a jumper. Short-circuit the second and third for a few minutes. This clears CMOS and removes passwords.

Last I remembered, that doesn't seem to work on laptops. Especially on recent laptops like OP's.

I don't recall the HDD password string with 8 digits and 2A7B, only 11, and then 2A7B. Unless...

Edit: Read it should be padded with asterisks... Probably either before or after the tag...? Like ***6VCP23YU-2A7B or 6VCP23YU***-2A7B?

Short service tag should be right padded with '*' up to length 7 chars
HDD serial number is right 11 chars from real HDDSerNum left padded with '*'
Some BIOSes has left pad HDD serial number with spaces instead '*'
