| When you forget your password it sucks. Whether if it's the login password of your social media account or of your laptop/computer, but most of the time it can be reset or removed with ease. |
| However, when it comes to BIOS password it’s not easy. Sometimes there's no other choice but replacing the motherboard and that can be expensive. This guide is for users who have set up their BIOS password on BIOS menu entry and not while logging into the OS. |
| There's also a detailed article to remove BIOS password which might help you in different ways. I'll be focused on Acer laptops because it’s very easy on Acer laptops. |
| If you don't have an Acer laptop this guide should be beneficial to you. |
