Surface laptop - Forgot BIOS password

Question

_{Tuesday, March 19, 2019 11:15 AM}

Hi,

One of my colleagues faced issue with his Surface machine where he forgot the BIOS password.

Is there any way to get into BIOS if we don't have the password or password says invalid.

Thanks,

Sasi

What has this got to do with Windows 10?

It is a windows 10 tablet machine.

Actually, we are unable to reimage the machine due to this issue. please help

We need to get into BIOS then Navigate to Boot configuration to boot from PXE.

Hi Sasi,

For surface device, we could still remove BIOS password by resetting CMOS Battery, like general laptop.

Try the following steps:

1.Open your Surface pro with a sharp and flat tool, if it’s hard to achieve, consult surface support.

2.Disconnect all the cables and then loosen screws accordingly.

3.Locate a round, flat, silver battery as blow showing on the motherboard and carefully remove it. Wait for few minutes before putting it back.

Besides, if you are part of an enterprise that has the UEFI password control under Domain environment, you can contact your IT admin if you have lost or forgotten UEFI password.

Regards
