Gigabyte G5 KE Clearing CMOS won't reset BIOS Admin password

[GIGA10]

Hello everyone. I'm not sure if this post belongs in this section? If not, please kindly move it to right section Mod/Admin.

I have a Gigabyte G5 KE laptop and I have forgotten the BIOS Admin password. I can enter BIOS menu but when trying to enter BIOS settings it ask for my password which I have forgotten. I can boot also in to Windows 11. I have tried to clearing CMOS by removing the CMOS battery for 10h. I have tried also to remove both power battery and CMOS battery and bridge the CMOS 2 pin connector on the motherboard. Then when booting I get a message that NVRAM has been resetted but when trying to enter BIOS settings it still ask for password. I have contacted Gigabyte and their advice was to bring it in to a repairer service which could take a month. The problem is that I need the laptop for a lot of reasons and do not have any other devices to use in the meantime. I have searched so long on internet on how to get rid of the password without any success. So I was hoping I could get rid of the password with help from you. I would higly appreciated it. Thanks in advance.

Happy christmas to everyone

Does anyone have a clue on how to solve my problem? Sending it for repair would cost me a lot and can't afford it.

only if you make a dump of your bios chipset and post it here.

I really have zero experience to make a dump of BIOS and because of that I have to be sure how do this properly and would appreciate some guide to not make a misstake. Thanks.
