Hi,
I have just bought a Lenovo M91 on eBay from a company that resells office PCs. The PC’s previous owner did not reset it (windows 10) and it requires a password.
Normally this would be no problem, I was replacing the hard drive anyway, however…
Any help would be hugely appreciated! I don’t have much experience with Lenovos and never come across anything like this.
thanks!

Normally this would be no problem, I was replacing the hard drive anyway, however…
- when I disconnect the (spinning) hard drive with the os on it and connect an SSD (with no os) and use a usb to install windows I get a error for no hard drive being recognised.
- I can’t get into the BIOS no matter what I try in order to change the boot order to the usb.
- I don’t see the Lenovo splash screen with no hard drive attached or with the blank SSD plugged in.
- when the HDD with the os is attached, I get the Lenovo splash screen and it says press enter to interrupt startup. However, it carries on booting to windows.
- I’ve tried every key f1 - f12 on startup and nothing opens up the BIOS.
- at the windows login screen I’ve tried getting to the BIOS by pressing shift and clicking restart. I get the normal troubleshooting option but it then doesn’t give me the option to restart to BIOS or reset the PC.
Any help would be hugely appreciated! I don’t have much experience with Lenovos and never come across anything like this.
thanks!
