Updated Swift SF315-51 to latest BIOS and now wont recognize BIOS supervisor password

gdeol4

So I wanted to dual boot linux alongside windows and decided to update all my drivers before hand, including BIOS. It required me to set up a supervisor password which I did (I use the same master password for these sort of things and I know the password that I entered.), and everything worked. I then wanted to install Kali Linux and when I went to my BIOS this time, I couldn't get in, my password that worked a few hours earlier did not now. I've tried pretty much everything, calling in as well but the key my BIOS spits out does not generate a proper unlock code.

I have read threads about the SF315-52 having a very similar problem, but has anyone figured out how to fix it on the SF315-51?
