Hello, no i did not steal it, it is mine laptop, i used it as my collage computer a few years ago. I do not have and proof of that what so ever.

And it needs a password to accses the bios settings, NOT the startup, and i do not remember the password yes.

for the bios password? just pull the cmos battery?
Click to expand...

sometimes hard to do on a laptop if you have to take it apart but yea remove the battery means the cmos button battery not the laptop battery

try that leave it out for good 10 minutes to make sure any charge in the motherboard is lost and it should reset the bios

sometimes there is a jumper you can put a metal pin to make the circuit which will reset also

here is a video how to do it
