How to remove bios password?

So I have the Lenovo y510p for over a year now, and I want to boot from a usb stick, when I open the boot menu upon booting, I don't have the option of booting from usb.

I've tried to get into the bios settings but I was asked to provide a password, which I don't remember I ever assigned.

I looked up online everywhere and I didn't get any help.

I started opening the laptop in order to reach to cmos battery and reset it, but stopped in the middle because I was afraid to break something after I accedentally unplugged my touchpad... Also suddenly I wasn't sure the motherboard had a cmos battery (does it?)

Any suggestions on how to get the bios settings menu back? I'm frustrated...

Sometimes, users encounter a password prompt at boot or the BIOS or CMOS setup is locked (as can be seen in the image below). If you do not know the BIOS password, you'll need to clear it. The following sections contain instructions on how to do so using multiple methods.

1. On the edge of the motherboard - Most jumpers are located on the side of the motherboard for easy accessibility; verify by looking at all visible edges of the motherboard.

2. By the CMOS battery - Some manufactures place the jumper to clear the CMOS or BIOS password by the CMOS battery itself.

3. By the processor - Some manufactures place the jumpers by the CPU of the computer.

4. Under the keyboard or bottom of laptop - If you are working on a laptop, the location of the dip switch can be under the keyboard or on the bottom of the laptop. It is usually located in a compartment such as the one that contains memory. (Laptops almost always use dip switches, not jumpers.)

The OKR will restore the factory default. That is OS plus all the bloatware will be restored except your data and other programs you installed. The Windows Reset will restore the OS only. That is all third party programs plus personal data will be erase.

1. Remove the battery and any other peripheral device connected to the computer.

2. Hold the power button for 10-15 seconds and then connect only the AC Adapter and try to turn ON the computer.

3. If the issue persists even after performing Flee Power then resetting BIOS to its defaults should resolve the issue

4. To access the BIOS menu click the NOVO button which at the left-hand side of the computer next to AC power adapter jack.

5. Then to reset the BIOS to its defaults click on “F9” Key and select YES.

6. Now Click on “F10” Key to safe the changes that are done in BIOS, restart the computer and check if the issue is resolved.
