Trying to unlock a 5080 Optiplex Tower, BIOS admin password is set, so can't do much with it (want to wipe the SSD and install new OS).
Looking at the motherboard manual, there is a jumper (not clear if it's PPWD or not), but on this board, it's not present (solder pads are there), and some of the surrounding component places are not populated either, so even if it is PPWD, probably not an option.
I've tried the codes on bios-pw org after inputting the service code number, but no joy.
Is there a good procedure to get the password cleared?
