I am not sure if giving info on bios reset is against the terms of service. So till someone else verifies, all I will say is "google is your buddy".
Sorry

i've spent the last 2 days googling, and the standard solutions don't work on laptops. CMOS battery doesn't reset it, cmospwd doesn't return anything, etc.

Hello SlimXero
BIOS or Operating System's passwords are there for the purpose related to Security and Privacy to protect the legitimate owner of a machine. While there are many locations on the Internet that might help you learn about managing passwords for a machine's BIOS or Operating System, we at G2G do not assist in what amounts to hacking past a machine's Security and Privacy safeguards.
While such requests are often legitimate, and come from users who experience exactly the kind of problem that you post, we have no way of determining legitimate vs. not legitimate, therefore we do not respond to such requests.
123Runner you are correct.
Regards

Thanks much for the help, we were able to find out the password finally. Turns out when she bought it, it was a display model. Called the local Best Buy and they gave us the password and a sincere apology for leaving it on there. Thanks again.
