Sup fellas I recently purchased a used msi wind u100 and it came with Windows 10. I'm trying to install Arch Linux on it but unfortunately when I tried to boot from a USB it asks for a password which the seller says he doesn't have. Is there a way I can bypass this password just to install Arch or am I f**ked? I tried google but nothinh seems to be relevant to windows 10.
Removing BIOS/boot password? |

you'll need to remove the cmos battery on the motherboard and then put it in again

Crapp that sucks was hoping there was a software solution I hadn't heard of.... Well guess I better start searching YouTube for a detailed disassembly video lol
Edit: well looks like I'm even more f**ked apparently just unplugging the CMOS won't do it due to some damn capacitor's some where within the laptop...
