i have add an nvme ssd on my acer nitro 5 An515-45. i open the bios by pressing power button and then f2. it was asking my password but i forgot that. so i forced shutdown my laptop by pressing the power button. Then i turned on and it was showing a windows setup menu to fresh start. then i remember the password and opened the bios again . since i remembered the password, i actually entered the bios. after exiting from bios, now my laptop is asking for setup as fresh again. what should I do now?

    You may have corrupted a system file by aborting BIOS with the power button. Boot to BIOS again and clear the password in Security tab, then press F9 (reset) and F10 (save changes). Restart and if you get the Windows setup screen again create a new Account, if this is the Repair Screen let it repair. Make a copy of that screen(s) with your phone and attach that picture so we can advise what to do next.

    Thank you. My issue is solved. Windows was trying to boot on my new ssd. After removing the new ssd, laptop was booted properly. So I had to change the boot order in the bios.
