Unfortunately, I did a lot of mischief and assigned a bios password to my new Acer Predator Helios 300 (Intel Core I7 8500, NVidia GeForce 1060, …). The bios was probably set to a different key layout, so I can't access the BIOS now, because the password is wrong.
I want to reset the password now, but if possible, without playing around on the hardware around. On the web, I found a program that can reset the PW. For this I have to pack this program on a bootable USB stick. Unfortunately, I can't change the boot order (in the BIOS) and can't start a boot menu. Does anyone have any idea how I can reset the password now, if possible without going to the hardware?
Probably the key layout was English.
Take a look at the layout of an En. Keyboard and see which characters have been changed in the password and enter them instead.
Small example.
Your password was circus, Yirkus became out of the layout.
Call bios.
If the PW window arrives three times then you will get a great window with a code.
Enter this code here https://bios-pw.org/
Enter the code you get with you.
If you enter the same code in the BIOS as Admin PW and leave as new PW just empty. Then it should be gone.
