Laptop: Lenovo Y50-70 Once upon a time I
set a BIOS password. What for? I don't understand myself. And successfully forgot it.
Changed the HDD to SSD, and now you need to reinstall Windows. The boot was UEFI. Do not go into the BIOS to remove the security ... Removed the
battery. Did not help. There is no jumper on the motherboard to reset. Do you really have to solder the chip and give it to reprogramming ?! :(
I tried through Hirens boot CD, there is a software for guessing the bios password. Nothing works, apparently it does not support lenovo.

Remove the battery and short the contacts at the battery socket. (i.e. not the battery itself, but the contacts on the motherboard). Just make sure in advance that the laptop is not powered by anything (no battery and no mains power).
PS
Of course, we are talking about the battery that is installed on the motherboard (that is, not the main battery)
