    Try this way :

    Reset the jumper that holds the password

    Open the computer and locate on the motherboard the BIOS password jumper. The jumper is usually jumper 1 and often labeled as PSWD, PWD, CLRPWD, CLEAR, JCMOS1, CLR, CLEAR CMOS, PASSWD, or PASSWORD. Normally you would have 3 pins and to reset the password you just need to put the jumper on the 2 and 3 pins leaving pin 1 empty. After you move the jumper, turn the computer on to clear the password, then once password removed turn it off and put the jumper back to its original position.

          [REQUEST] Dell G3 3579 BIOS Password & AMI Protected Range/BIOS Guard Unlock
          by zenius
          Hello, I have an old Dell G3 3579 (ST: 2WQ7LP2-8FC8) with a newer 8FC8 BIOS password. I have successfully attached to the flash chip (W25Q128JVSQ) on the motherboard with a CH341A programmer and made several modifications using Intel FIT (e.g., allow software SPI write) without bricking. I was also able to boot to a modified GRUB shell where I attempted to edit many BIOS security related options like BIOS Guard/Lock, Flash Signature Override, ME FW Image Re-Flash, etc.

          Unfortunately, some of these modifications like to Intel BIOS Guard failed because it is fused into the PCH. Also,...

          HP Omen 15-dh0052nf power-on & bios password
          by Nopslide
          Hello everyone, I come here to tell you my problem regarding the power-on password. It is not a bios reset demand, and i can't have any access to windows. This is the bios and power-on password that is blocking all other things.

          My Omen 15-dh0052nf purchased second-hand was configured with the bios password upon purchase (very simple password :P ).

          Having decided to sell it in order to get something more powerful, I reset all BIOS settings and set a blank administrator password. But the power-on password cannot be changed to a blank one so I let the actual password set....

          by outsider
          Hello
          I removed the BIOS password thanks to the help of one of the friends of this forum.

          1. I bought this laptop from flea market, and the seller said that he had never set a password, however here is a password required when pressing F2 to enter BIOS.
          2. And after entering incorrrect password 3 times, there is no any useful information like "recovery code"
          3. I used universal bios backup tool, and dumped 8MB bin file, but hex code after "SystemSupervisorPw" is...
