To install or set a BIOS password on a laptop, you must first access the BIOS menu during the boot process. Be aware that many Y13 units are school-issued (e.g., in France's Île-de-France region) and may already have a pre-set administrator password. 1. Access the BIOS Menu
: Shut down the laptop completely. Turn it back on and immediately tap the key repeatedly until the BIOS Setup Utility screen appears. Navigate to Security : Use the arrow keys to move across the top menu to the Set Supervisor Password Administrator Password (or "Set Supervisor Password") and press Type your desired password and press Confirm the password by typing it again.
: Shut down your laptop completely. Press the Power button and immediately tap the ESC or Delete key repeatedly until the BIOS menu appears.
Follow the terminal prompts. Do turn off the computer while the script is writing to the chip to avoid bricking the motherboard.
