Acer aspire 5 A515-52-315Q - How can I boot into other OS or USB without F12 boot menu enabled

Souman

Hi,

I am using Acer aspire 5 A515-52-315Q.
How can I boot into bootable USB or other installed OS (linux)? It can be easily done by pressing F12 during the startup but the F12 boot menu is disabled by default and I don't know the BIOS password.

Actually, I have installed Parrot Linux and windows side by side and F12 menu was also enabled. I set the BIOS password too but now I forget the password. From different support forum I came to know about resetting the BIOS and I did so.

But everything except the password is reset.
Everything is back to default ( factory reset ) but it is still asking the password.

( even the key which is shown after 3 wrong password input is changed, date and time, F12 boot, Function key behaviour etc all are set to default after resetting ).

So is there any way to reset the bios password...? or at least any way to log into the linux or bootable USB...? the windows starts itself as soon as I press the power button.

It is not allowed in the forum to share any method of access, modification or passwords in Bios.
In this case, you must contact Acer in your region and / or country.
