Hi
I use an Acer Aspire 5 A515-51G-50UW running on Windows 10. I had planned to migrate my OS to a new SSD that I had installed using Clonezilla when I realised that I've forgotten the password to my BIOS rendering me unable to change the default boot device. I have tried the following:
  1. Looking up on Removed for my device: it's not there.
  2. Disconnecting my CMOS battery to reset my BIOS: didn't work.
Is there a way that doesn't involve monetary expenses?

Any help is appreciated. Thank you.
