How To Remove System Password

Hello,

I set up a laptop for a new user. I went in and set what I thought was the admin password in the BIOS. Apparently, it was the system password. Anyone know how to remove this password? I don't want the prompt popping up for the user every time they go to restart their machine. 

 

Thanks,

4 Operator

Go into the BIOS Setup again and choose the option to change the system password. Enter the current system password, then at the prompt to enter and confirm a new password, just press Enter both times without typing anything.

@jphughan​ That doesn't work for the setup password on a G15 5510 v1.21.0 - after reboot, the password is active again.
