Hello. My problem is this. I bought a used ACER P273-M laptop. I decided to reinstall Windows. When entering the BIOS it asks for a password.... I contacted the old owner and said I don’t know anything. I didn’t set a password... what should I do?

Unfortunately your TravelMate P273-M is very old, vintage 2013 IIRC. Normally removing a BIOS password requires a trip to the service center and I am not sure they will still have the tools and firmware images to do that any longer. You will have to contact them to find out.
