Comment on Apparantly, you can no longer reset the "User" BIOS Password with the "Admin" BIOS Password? Why??? I literally am the Admin lol.

If it honestly doesn’t permit the User password to be reset, is there a “factory reset the whole BIOS” option?

Couldn’t find such option. I find a “load default settings” thing, but the passwords are unaffected by that. I tried updating the BIOS but the passwords are still intact.

I wonder if there’s a tool that can reset the BIOS from the OS.

  Have you tried doing a full BIOS update? As in, download from the manufacturer. I wonder if that would overwrite the passwords.

    I downloaded the BIOS on a USB drive, I went into the BIOS menu and updated it. The version number is now different, but the passwords remain. 🤷‍♂️
