How to reset the BIOS password?

How to reset the BIOS password?

I know this has been asked and answered for some other models but I can’t find any discussion for this specific model. I, like an idiot, set a BIOS password and forgot it after not using my laptop for a few months. I can still use it but I currently have Ubuntu installed, and I would like to return to Windows. Unfortunately I can’t do this because of the BIOS password.

"Hi,

This is from p.24 of the service manual for a Lenovo Yoga 720-13IKB (15IKB) laptop

Supervisor password:

A supervisor password protects the system information stored in the BIOS. The user must enter the supervisor password to get access to the BIOS and change the system configuration.

Attention: If you forget the password, there is no service procedure to reset the password. The system board must be replaced for a scheduled fee."

Remove CMOS battery wait for 30 minutes it will reset your password for bios if this didn’t worked then try for reset the password using motherboard jumper there will be three pins in the jumper. the middle pin is connected to one of the pin you can check and connect middle pin to the other not connected pin after removing jumper and wait for some seconds and now reinstall jumper in its initial position
